Barca's squad has stabilized, but with Laporta's personality, this summer still can not stop the pace of signed players, after all, the league championship, the Champions League, is the ultimate goal of Barca's competition, in addition to the players who have been signed, there are also players on loan, this summer also has to solve the problem, recover part of the funds, or sign other players.
Griezmann is currently on loan at Atletico, and barca will also recover a transfer fee of 40 million euros if they can buy out this summer, but considering that Griezmann's performance after returning to Atletico is not eye-catching, there is no news that Atletico has bought Griezmann. But one deal may be stable, and that is Barca player Coutinho, who is on loan to Aston Villa. Probably bought out by the team this summer.
Coutinho, who was depressed at Barca, was called by Gerrard, in order to join Aston Villa, Coutinho gave up part of his salary to join on loan, after joining, Coutinho performed very well, scoring 3 goals in 7 games and having three assists, which is among the top players at Villa. Other players in the forward line are not as good as Coutinho.
It also proves that Gerrard has mastered the player's instructions, and in an interview, Gerald's praise for Coutinho is overflowing and hopes to buy out this summer. But there are several issues to face.
The first is Coutinho's salary, which Coutinho gave up part of his salary in order to join Villa, but also had a weekly salary of about 100,000 pounds. This is something that Villa cannot afford, but if Villa decides to sign Coutinho, it may make some adjustments in terms of salary, and considering Villa's performance and Barca's lack of ambition, Coutinho will definitely accept Villa's salary adjustment. This should require final discussion at the time of signing the contract.
In addition, Barca asked for a 40 million euros buyout fee, fans said that Gerrard always praises players at inappropriate times, Coutinho's performance is very good, but this summer there is a buyout relationship, so Barca will not sit on the ground because of Coutinho's excellent performance. That's also a point of concern for fans.
But now it seems that Barca previously asked for a 40 million euros buyout fee, and Gerald is the coach who mastered Coutinho's instructions, if Barca does not agree to the 40 million euros buyout fee, it is a default, and Barca recalls Coutinho, there is no place, so if Villa decides to buy out, 40 million euros should only be less than more.
On the other hand, Barca can see that Coutinho is performing well in Villa, which will also make Barca satisfied, because Barca wants Villa to buy out Coutinho for 40 million euros. In this way, Barca will completely get rid of Coutinho's high salary, after all, Coutinho is not suitable for Barca, and it is a good ending to get together and disperse.
Another 40 million euros is also a satisfactory result for Barca, at least to stop losses and be able to use the recovered funds to sign other players.
summary
Compared to Griezmann, Coutinho can get a certain position at Villa, and Gerrard said that Coutinho is the center of the team, which also proves that Coutinho has played his own value at Villa, and Coutinho will definitely not return to Barca. The deal should be negotiated very smoothly this summer. Being able to recover 40 million euros is not a loss for Barca.
