The Barça has a serious problem with Coutinho

Have to the mediapunta varied months lesionado is the worst letter of possible presentation for any traspaso. It will be tremendously difficult that somebody want to pay an important quantity by him after all this and can that the Barcelona have to remain it another year more if they do not want to malvenderlo. Accept a cession to undo of his agreement is another option that there will be on of the table and that the culés would not have to descartar.

In a principle, the Barcelona had to take out no less than 40 or 50 million euros by the international 'canarinho', since his value of market is of 40 'kilos'. Nevertheless, his wage is of more than 10 and will be impossible mission that somebody accept to pay this figure and do charge of his wage. Joan Laporta will have to work a lot to try it and will have to decide what do with a player that does only three years cost 120 millions more 40 in aims.
