It's very strange to see the Brazilian in thus situation. Who would have imagined that Coutinho would be fighting for a place in a squad, , a player with such great talent? I remember times when I watched this lad play. I was like 'this guy is damn good!'
However, things have changes quickly and the player has underwhelmed so far. Now, even Vidal and Arthur are playing more regularly than he is. Ernesto Valverde has warned him to up his game or face axing from the squad.
Obviously, as could be expected, Coutinho is unhappy at the situation and wants to leave. Barcelona would even be happy to let him go so they can have enough monetary to fund the deal to bring back Neymar to the Camp.
However, Barcelona would want same amount they'd paid for the the player in 2017. There's rarely any way they would agree to less than that.
