Barca are currently financially tight, in the case of a two-line defeat, they also need to introduce strong reinforcements before the next season, but Barca's current policy is not to consider spending money to sign players, on the one hand, it is visa-free, looking for players with strength and freedom in the transfer market this summer, on the other hand, it is to clean up players and recover transfer fees to sign new players.
Barca's two big problems are not Dembele and Umtiti, dembele's signing or not will not affect Barca's progress in the reconstruction plan, and Umtiti's annual salary has been reduced to 3.6 million euros, walking or not going without any obstacles, what is important is Griezmann and Coutinho two players, their transfer fee will directly determine Barca's signing budget this summer.
Whether Griezmann can stay at Atletico is still unknown, but Coutinho is determined not to return to Barca, after all, Barca has no place in Coutinho, and it is a good result to get together, but it is very difficult for Aston Villa, who plays for Coutinho, to sign Coutinho, because they do not want to pay a 40 million euros penalty.
Sportmail Daily: Newcastle are willing to bid 40 million euros to sign Coutinho and match his current salary.
Newcastle is the new giant in the Premier League, and will definitely invest a lot of money like Manchester City to make the team a popular team for the Premier League to win the championship, but it is still too early, from the performance at the beginning of this season, it can be seen that even though Newcastle wants to sign heavyweight players, with transfer fees and high annual salaries as a temptation, the players still do not want to join Newcastle without the Champions League to play.
In the first half of the Premier League, Newcastle has been in the relegation zone, and at the end of the season, Newcastle is currently in 11th place in the Premier League and has left the relegation zone, which is a very advantageous side for this summer's reinforcements, but Barca should not be happy too early, because even if Newcastle is willing to bid to sign Coutinho and match his salary, Coutinho may not want to join.
First of all, Coutinho's requirements for annual salary are not strong, otherwise he would not take the initiative to cut his salary in order to join Aston Villa, just to be able to go to a team that can make himself strong, so that he can get the call of the Brazilian national team, and also realize his own value.
In addition, Aston Villa is a team that can make Coutinho happy after leaving Barca, mainly because of Gerrard's emphasis on and use of Coutinho, so that Coutinho finally found a sense of belonging, which has nothing to do with money. Coutinho is also very keen to stay at Aston Villa.
When Barca fans saw this news, in fact, for the Newcastle team, it was also a kind of gratitude, after all, few people signed Coutinho for 40 million euros, but it is undeniable that if Coutinho insists on staying at Aston Villa and cutting salaries, Barca also needs to make concessions, in the discussion of transfer fees, try to give enough sincerity.
summary
For Coutinho, in fact, Barca fans have great respect for him, but also hope that Coutinho can show his strength in other teams, Coutinho's career is bumpy, in order to join Barca, Coutinho also paid a price, in the last contract of his career, the fans still hope that Coutinho can really find his own happiness, maybe stay in Aston Villa, in order to let Coutinho find the joy of playing football.
