Who is the player who has fallen the hardest in football today? Originally, two players could have been elected side by side, Eden Hazard and Coutinho.
Today, Coutinho has led the way alone!
In the early morning of January 6, Beijing time, a number of British media confirmed that many clubs from the Premier League wanted to get Coutinho, including Newcastle, Aston Villa, Arsenal, etc., but for Barca's offer of 9 million euros, all clubs had the same attitude: dismissive.
The star who once set a record for transfers in the winter window is no longer what he used to be. That year, Coutinho bid farewell to Liverpool and landed at Camp Nou, spending a total of 145 million euros on Barca.
How high are Barca's expectations of Coutinho? The transfer fee speaks for itself.
During his time at Liverpool, Coutinho showed the abilities of a world-class midfielder, excellent foot skills, sharp passes, flexible and fluttering positions...
However, after joining Barca, Coutinho seems to have lost his magic, it is almost difficult for him to integrate into Barca's system, and his performance is not satisfactory.
Coupled with three consecutive knee surgeries shortly after the start of last season, Barca, who are in the process of rebuilding, have excluded him.
So far this season, Coutinho has made 16 appearances for the team, scoring just two goals. With such a report card, it is no wonder that no team is willing to pay 9 million euros.
Barca want to get rid of Coutinho as soon as possible to clear the way for Ferran Torres' registration. Arsenal are by far one of the clubs most interested in Coutinho, and Arsenal have made a loan request to Barca, and the transfer offer for Coutinho is 6 million euros! (Operation after season)
For Barca, although it is 3 million euros away from expectations, Arsenal are willing to bear Coutinho's weekly salary of 200,000 euros, which is quite sincere.
But Coutinho still has a dream in his heart, the 29-year-old hopes to appear in the World Cup in Qatar, in order to have enough playing time, Coutinho's tendency is to return to the Brazilian league.
So, where will Coutinho's next stop be? Will he still have a chance to return to the Brazilian national team?
