Over the past two decades, Barcelona has had a marked preference for Brazilian players. The latest addition to this list is Philippe Coutinho.
The former midfielder of English Liverpool was presented a few days ago at Barcelona, a club that spent the exorbitant sum of 120 million plus 40 variables in Coutinho's transfer.
The love affair between Barcelona and athletes from the land of samba began in the 60s. But it was in the 90s when the noise became deafening with the arrival of Romario in 1993 for 12 million euros.
The list continued to grow until the signing of Neymar. Barcelona spent exactly 85 million for the former Santos star.
