To day of today, the FC Barcelona already has paid 135 millions by the midfield player carioca: in addition to the 120 'kilos' of the fixed part, the club culé has credited 5 millions more by the fulfillment of 25 parties of Coutinho with the Barcelona T-shirt, 5 more for classifying by the Champions League the past campaign and other 5 for doing it this season.

For now, still they remain 25 variable millions for paying that desglosan in two parts: they would pay 20 in case that Coutinho arrive to the 100 parties played in the FC Barcelona and other 5 in case that the group culé proclaim champion of the Champions League in any of the next seasons.

The performance offered by Coutinho in the present season has disappointed a lot, exasperating even to the fans, that has booed him in some meetings contested in the Camp Nou.
