The signing of Coutinho is now official! (And in the dressing room of the Barça roll heads)
The arrival of the Brazilian, who this Sunday could already meet his new teammates, puts the Barça club in serious trouble.
It's official. The club decided not to wait until Sunday and converts the signing Philippe Coutinho in his Christmas present for the Barca fans. The Brazilian footballer will arrive at the Camp Nou in exchange for 160 million Euros , sign for the remainder of the season and five more years with the Blaugrana team, and becomes from now on the crack that comes to occupy part of the gap that Neymar left in the entity last summer. A Dembelé has not yet had time to cover the other party.
The operation closed practically at eight in the afternoon of this Saturday. The COPE chain advanced minutes before Coutinho and his surroundings were already flying towards Barcelona and this Sunday he could already meet those who will be his new teammates. The medical review will be safe this Monday , and will also be officially presented , almost certainly, the same day. There have been no numbers on his salary, but the playmaker, already ex Liverpool , is the most expensive signing in the history of FC Barcelona. He is 25 years old and is at the height of his career.
His arrival was an open secret (and so we have been counting on Don Ball ) but it is true that there were many doubts about whether Liverpool would let him out in the winter market or we would have to wait until next summer to see him dressed as Barça . However, the departure of Neymar had caused an increase in the budget in the coffers of Barca Bartomeu and his team had to invest in some way, especially to show no weakness to the rest of European football giants after a loss as brutal as the one of 'Ney' , and to return to delude a hobby that after the loss of the Supercopa before the Real Madrid it was feared the worst in sports for this season.
The arrival of Coutinho will cause exits
However, although the sale of Neymar left 222 million Euros in the coffers of Barca, between Dembelé and Coutinho have risen the expense to 310 million , so now it is urgent that the club lighten staff. Not only for economic reasons, but also for reasons of salary payments and financial Fair Play . There are several candidates to leave Barcelona in this winter market, and everything could start with an old heavyweight (and friend of Messi): Javier Mascherano.
