Disappointment, devaluation, injuries and Coutinho's horror story at Barça

Happen to cost 150 million euros to 20 'kilos' in three years resume what has been the step of Philippe Coutinho in the FC Barcelona. It arrived like a star and one of the most promising players of the Premier League, by his impressive deployment in the Liverpool, but never has found his football in the Camp Nou. It has not been subject of trainer (Valverde, Sietién and Koeman tried it)... It is that it does not fit, neither by 'sopresa'.

Coutinho Cost him to the Barça 120 fixed millions, more 40 in variables, according to some informations. It is the most expensive signing of the history of the club and, probably, the most disappointing. His 'highlight', in fact, has been that annotated two goals to the Barcelona while it was yielded in the Bayern of Munich, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2019-20. Little more than this.

His performance has come in free fall, especially in the last year. It is necessary to remember that it arrived to the City Condal like part of the plan of the Barça to fill the gap that had left Neymar Jr with his signing by the Paris Saint-Germain, beside Ousmane Dembélé. The Barcelona spent the money, but with the feeling that, of some form, threw it to the rubbish (Bartomeu and his tarpaulins...).

The case is that 'Cou' never has been the Coutinho of the Liverpool with the T-shirt of the Barça neither neither with the one of the Bayern. In occasions leaves destellos of quality, but of there does not happen. The injuries have been in his against, is truth, but is a subject that goes further and that generates too much uncertainty and disappointment, in definite. In December of the past year began to be a 'fixed' in the infirmary, happening ten months there, and with his return has stood out more by the losses of balloon that by his offensive contribution.

A history of terror

It is necessary to highlight that in this season has had opportunities and has wasted them. In Balaídos showed once again his apathy and win to abandon the ship, remembering how went out to heat when Ansu Fati fell lesionado. It is not to taste and the Barça is not throwing rockets by his exert, all the contrary. Has paints it that it is an irreversible and definite situation... And that once again the Barcelona have lost.

The magnitude of the 'earthquake Coutinho' remains evidenciado with his value of market in 'Transfermarkt', that happened to be of 150 million euros three years ago, to so alone 20 'kilos' at present. It is a problem for a Barça that it wants to undo of him as it was, but in the beginning of this season still remained him for amortising 40 million his traspaso from the Liverpool.
