Zapping Our Mondial TOP 10: The most profitable transfers in history
The third most expensive player in the world will soon be sold! At the start of 2018, Barça broke the bank and used the money from the sale of Neymar to secure the services of Philippe Coutinho, his appointed replacement. But four years later, the story is about to end between the Brazilian and the Catalans. After a two-year loan to Bayern Munich, the former Liverpool player returned to England this winter to reunite with Steven Gerrard, his former Reds teammate and now Aston Villa coach, again in the form of a loan. .
The purchase option soon to be exercised?
And the least we can say is that the English air is more successful for the right-handed than the Catalan way of life. In seven games on the other side of the Channel, he has already scored three goals and delivered three assists, which obviously convinced “Stevie G”. Indeed, according to information from Italian journalist Matteo Moretto, the Villans want to exercise his purchase option estimated at 40 million euros. A sum far from the 140 million paid for the player at the time in Liverpool, but which could help Joan Laporta in the future Erling Haaland file. Everyone is happy ?
to summarize
Philippe Coutinho, Barça midfielder, should be definitively sold to Aston Villa this summer against 40 million euros, Gerrard absolutely wants it and would be ready to exercise the purchase option set by the Catalans.
