Coutinho, mission impossible

The Barcelona is sweating ink for lighten the template of wage bill and power enroll both to Messi like the four players he hired just after finishing the previous year and who are Kun Agüero, Memphis Depay, Eric Garcia Y Emerson Royal. The goal is in break off of players who earn a lot and contribute little, but no case is as difficult as that of Philippe Coutinho.

The process for place the brazilian of 29 years just turned on the market is a mission almost impossible which will test the managerial skills of Mateu Alemany, the club's football director.

For salary and for what it cost, it is the most expensive signing of the history of Barça, which agreed with Liverpool in the 2018 winter market a transfer worth 120 million euros more 40 in variables. His exit is a difficult puzzle to solve.

No team in the world that can assume your token close to 20 million per season nor any that can to pay the approximately 50 million that remain to be amortized from their hiring.

That, not counting the 40 million variables. Of those millions, twenty are to ten games of having to pay, since Barcelona signed with Liverpool that would pay that amount the day Coutinho arrived at the 100 games as a player of the Catalan set. At the moment carries 90.

Luck and misfortune in equal parts for Barcelona is that Coutinho does not play a match with your club's jersey from the past December 30. That avoided that last season the 20 million euros to anfield team, but at the same time it has left him on the dike dry without market to be able to place it, since it carries seven months without stepping on a pitch. Yes, according to the website specialized in the sports market Transfermarkt when he arrived at Barcelona, ​​Coutinho's value was 150 million, is now at 30.

The Coutinho performance in Barcelona since he arrived he has been disappointing. In those 90 games who has played has scored 23 goals (only four in the Champions League), playing 5,620 minutes. Two seasons ago he tried his luck at the Bayern Munich as yielded, but he could not redirect his career. There is the paradox that with the Bavarian team scored only three goals in the Champions, two of them to Barcelona in the humiliating defeat of the Catalans in Lisbon by 2-8.

At the moment, Coutinho you are in Barcelona training alone to recover from his meniscus injury, already in the final stretch.
