The signing of Philippe Coutinho by the FC Barcelona concretised after months of serial. The FC Barcelona accepted to disburse the 160 millions that asked the Liverpool to bring to the Brazilian midfield player to the Camp Nou. The footballer wished to come with all his strengths and the Liverpool finish yielding to the unavoidable.
The signing of Coutinho by the FC Barcelona also has supposed to gather to the póker of attackers more expensive of the world, if we look his clauses of rescission. Something that has imposed the Barcelona club so much in incorporations as in renewals to avoid the escape of his cracks as it already happened with Neymar the past summer.
The highest clause of all the staff of the FC Barcelona is the one of Lionel Messi, that does some weeks renewed with the Barcelona team elevating substantially his index card and elevating his clause of rescission to the 700 million euros. An astronomical figure anti-sheiks that pretends to frighten off the temptations of the teams that want to to the Argentinian.
By his part, his mate and fellow Luis Suárez has a clause of 200. Enough lower, something that the FC Barcelona expects to solve in his next renewal. By his part, the recent Barcelona signings, Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembélé, have the same clause of 400 million euros, high figures that are not feasible in the current market. Between the four add 1.700 million euros in price.
Disposal on the field
Philippe Coutinho also has the capacity to act of interior, by what Ernesto Valverde could recover the 4-3-3, a diagram that has been practically immovable in the last Barcelona decade. In this way, the offensive trident would be formed by Messi, Suárez and Dembélé, whereas Coutinho would happen to play of interior by in front of Busquets and supported by men like Rakitic, Paulinho or Iniesta. However, in the Champions League would change the returns, since the Brazilian will not be able to play with the Barcelona for having it done already with the Liverpool.
