The departure of Philippe Coutinho from FC Barcelona has become an obligation for both the player and the club. While the Brazilian needs to reconnect with football away from Can Barça, in a team whose opportunities and minutes help him recover some of that version he showed at Liverpool, The culé team must get rid of a footballer who never finished performing with the elastic Blaugrana, even more so before the arrival of Ferran Torres. In order for the former Manchester City striker to be registered, Barça will have to release one of the several players that Xavi Hernández included in his discard list since his arrival. Despite the fact that the Brazilian has never finished performing in LaLiga, The Premier League still has great memories of the 29-year-old midfielder, and that is why Coutinho’s return to England seems increasingly feasible.
As reported by the Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, from Sportitalia, the contacts between the Brazilian and Arsenal would have advanced once Mikel Arteta, coach of the Gunner team, gave the green light to the operation. At the same time, further talks between the two parties are expected in the coming days. As the newspaper announced SPORT days ago, Coutinho’s agents would have traveled to England to try to place the still FC Barcelona midfielder in a Premier League team, since the London team is not the only one interested. Galetti He also adds the names of Everton, Leicester City and Newcastle to the list of candidates who would have been interested in the Brazilian’s situation. While the Spanish coach of Arsenal would have approved his signing, the Gunners’ option is the one that most interests the footballer.
Should he end up landing in London, opportunities and minutes will not come to Philippe Coutinho alone either. So far this season, the culé midfielder has played a total of 16 games in LaLiga and Champions League, of which he started as a starter in 5 and ended up scoring 2 goals. But Arsenal, currently 4th in the Premier League, is a team in full positive dynamics both in terms of results and play, so entering Mikel Arteta’s eleven at this stage of the season pays dearly. Homegrown players Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe, as well as former Madrid player Martin Odegaard, are showing superlative performance in the first section of the course with the GunnersTherefore, Coutinho, with little competition rhythm and far from his best version, must take a step forward if he does not want his possible arrival at Arsenal to end up prolonging the situation in Barcelona.
