Calendar of FC Barcelona

After several attempts to put it in the market of signings, the FC Barcelona has achieved 'undo' of Philippe Coutinho, the player that more earns in the staff and whose performance is not chord to what perceives by season. The Brazilian leaves yielded to the Aston Villa of Steven Gerrard to the end of season and from the City Condal have included an option of purchase that round the 40 million euros.

This option is not compulsory and will depend, obviously, of the performance that can have 'Cou' in the Villa Park. The Barça expects that the English are to taste with the footballer and that decide 'tie it' at the end of the season, put in the Camp Nou would not be very happy to receive him again, as it already happened after his cession to the Bayern of Munich in which it was far to fulfil the expectations of the Bavarian club.

This cession, in any case, arrives just four years after the Barça announced the purchase of Coutinho from the Liverpool by 135 million euros, apróximadamente, turning into the most expensive signing of the Barcelona history. The Brazilian, besides, was at present the better player paid of the staff, with a wage that brushed the 22 'kilos'. Now, the club culé will happen to pay a lower percentage of his wage and, with this, lightens his mass salarial to think in the registration of Ferran Torres.

And it is that all the efforts from the Camp Nou are oriented to achieve to do him a gap to the Spanish forward. For the moment, still it is necessary to achieve more exits (with sales with plusvalías or cessions), as well as discounts salariales and concretise the renewal of Sergi Roberto, to the drop, that would allow to generate 'fair play' financial.

Can pay 40 millions by Coutinho?

The FC Barcelona and Aston Villa have not mentioned in his respective communicated the value of the option of purchase, butto same hour seems unlikely that some team can pay 40 milllones of euros by Coutinho, when his value of market is at present of 18 'kilos' and his performance leaves a lot that wish. It will remain to see which raisin in the next five-six months and if 'Cou' can give a hit of authority and show that yes it can be an important footballer.
