During the past summer, characterized by significantly inflated player prices - European clubs were spending impressive amounts and various records were being broken.
However, one transfer did not happen - "Barcelona" tried everything to lure "Liverpool" winger Phillipe Coutinho, but in the end, it remained empty-handed.
Now the main reason is clear - the large appetite of the English.
"Barcelona" director Albert Soler officially announced that the "Premier" league club demanded a whopping 200 million euros for the Brazilian.
"After a few weeks of negotiations, "Liverpool" asked us for 200 million euros, but we did not want to take the risk.
Our mission has always been not to put the club in danger so that there is no threat to the team members.
Other teams knew that we received 222 million euros for Neymar, so they wanted very large sums of money," Soleris pointed out.
