Christian Eriksen could have been a player for Barcelona, as highlighted by FIFA agent Bayram Tutumlu. "I told Christian Eriksen that Barcelona is looking for more things when they buy a player, not just their football qualities. He chose Coutinho because of his agent (referring to Martin Schoots)," he declared to BT.

"I told Eriksen that if he wants to go to a bigger club, it won't be through the agent," commented Tutumlu, who believes that the lack of initiative from the midfielder's agent deprived him of the opportunity to sign for Barcelona.
