From the Catalan press insist in that Philippe Coutinho is the big priority of the FC Barcelona for this month of January of 2018, and in that the Barça would be had to face a big operation to do with his services, independently that the Brazilian midfield player can not play this campaign the Champions League when having it done already with the Liverpool.
The Barcelona probably would surpass the 100 million euros by the signing of Coutinho, what without place to doubts would condition the signing of a central during the market of winter. The Barcelona could not face two signings cuantiosos in January, and if Coutinho arrives in return of 100 'kilos' the Barça will incorporate to a central 'low-cost' to the staff or, of the contrary, will expect until the summer to sign it.
What is clear is that Of Ligt and Coutinho will not arrive both in winter, but one of the two will have to expect until the summer if it wants to finish playing in the Camp Nou. The FC Barcelona could incorporate to Coutinho in January and advance the signing of Yerry Mina, by the one who has an option of purchase of 10 million euros from does months.
How much will spend the Barça by Coutinho?
Simultaneously, it could bet also by an operation 'low cost' by a central that was already veteran and arrive like option of present, with the will that have a "immediate performance" like which in theory predicted does years that would contribute Vermaelen.
Options do not are missing him to the Barcelona in the market, but seems sure that the arrival of Coutinho, depending on which was his final price, will condition the rest of signings that the club has foreseen to follow reinforcing the staff. The first that will do is to try convince to Mascherano that it do not do the cases, at least, until it finish the present season 2017-18.
