While in FC Barcelona, it seems that there is a perennial crisis without an apparent solution, a few kilometers away from the city there is one of the players who largely contributed to causing it. Or rather, his exorbitant signing in January 2018.
Philippe Coutinho was called to take over from Neymar at the team but after a season and a half, the most expensive signing in the history of the Catalan club packed his bags. Specifically on August 16, the first day of the league and the date of the previous visit of the team to San Mamés like today's.
Now that the blue and maroon return to the Botxo, Sport explains that the situation of the player in Germany is more than worrying. Yesterday against Hoffenheim, in the match that Bayern Munich had to come from behind to survive in the German DFB Pokal, the Brazilian caused several serious errors (especially in the first goal) and convinced the German club that the €120 million investment for his purchase in the summer should not be made.
Therefore, as FC Barcelona fears about this player, he will return in the summer with his high salary and fewer chances of a lucrative sale. Although there are months ahead and we will have to see what happens in all areas.
