Philippe Coutinho is now approaching FC Barcelona, acording to Diario Sport. The summit that took place the dawn of Friday to Saturday, of which SPORT informed in exclusive, has desencallado the transfer of the Brazilian crack. The representatives of the Brazilian footballer had quoted themselves with the owners of Liverpool, of the American conglomerate Fenway Sports Group , and the results of the conference call were very positive for the Blaugrana interests.
The pressure made by the Carioca player has ended up paying off, after weeks of intense tension and cold war. And, for the first time since the start of their agents' onslaughts, the Anfield club said that there was a real possibility that their star player would leave the Premier . In fact, Liverpool already gives it for lost. And, when the signing market faces its final stretch, the stage, at last, has been put in the face of Barcelona's interests . The player's strategy of not giving the arm to cheer has been key. As well as the encouragement that has come from Barcelona , whether from the locker room or, mainly, from the stage. The Barça Has told him that he would wait until the last minute and that he did not intend to give up on his incorporation because it was very complicated that it was his departure from England .
The road map to follow is already fully determined. First, Liverpool will sign the substitute Coutinho , at a price in line with a market already punished by inflation. And once, the transaction is closed, the sale of Phil will be made . The idea of the 'network' is to prevent the signing of the signing, when it comes in the box about 150 million euros , precisely what has happened to Barca with the departure of Neymar Jr. The English press has been reporting that the Liverpool goal is none other than Renato Sanches , Bayern Munich. The contacts are advanced and the Portuguese, just turned 20, asked Ancelotti not to include him in the squad of the meeting that yesterday the German champion disputed against Werder Bremen .
Sanches , who joined a year ago coming from Benfica , fits into the profile of young, talented and has not yet exploited, that Juergen Klopp likes so much . His situation, in addition, would remember very much the one of the own Coutinho , that landed in January of 2013 in Anfield , with 20 years.
The Portuguese midfielder has not finished meeting all the expectations that Bayern put in him. His signing of 36 million euros was very celebrated a year ago by the Bavarian club. Now Liverpool and Klopp are convinced that the Premier , with more vertical and explosive football, can be a springboard for the Portuguese international. Relations between Barcelona and Liverpool are not the best. The weather is tense. For this reason, the agents of Coutinho are who have been commissioned all summer to establish bridges of communication with the club of Anfiled .
Closing the transfer Coutinho will become the most expensive player in the history of Barca , beating Dembélé . If with the French end, Barca has disbursed 105 million plus close to 45 in variables, the final amount of the signing of Cou can approach much to 160 million euros , which is the top figure that Barcelona has determined in this operation.
Cou's irreducible stance has been fundamental. He hit Klopp and he ended up winning. The German coach did not want to make blood when the midfielder asked for the transfer request, a whole affront to the Anfield club , and stopped training.
The Rio striker missed the previous Champions League , against Hoffenheim and the first days of the Premier . Klopp always told the leaders of his club that he would be able to redress the situation .... The days have passed and, in the end, considering that Cou did not recapacitaba OK gave his club to sell it to Barcelona .
Philippe Coutinho will play his first official meeting of the season dressed in green and yellow. The dawn of Thursday to Friday of the next week, the Seleçao receives Ecuador in Arena Gremio , of Porto Alegre , in party valid for the World-wide one of RusIa 2018 . The CBF explained to SPORT that the player has not requested permission to join later than his teammates and, in principle, is expected in the gaucho capital on Monday. Coutinho has not informed the coaching staff that he is injured, so, in principle, will be available to Tite .
