„Barcelona“ team during the winter transfer window turned Philippe Coutinho into the second most expensive footballer in history. The Catalans paid 160 million euros for the star from „Liverpool“.
However, „Liverpool“ legend Jamie Carragher does not believe that the Brazilian was worth that much money.
„I think every „Liverpool“ fan knew that after Coutinho didn't work out in the summer, he would leave the team next season and said to themselves: let's enjoy these 12 months.
But to lose him in the middle of the season... I disagree with that, but the buyout amount... Coutinho is not worth that much. He is not that good.
But I would have taken 20-30 million less in the summer knowing that „Liverpool“ would have him in the second half of the season, as we were still in the FA Cup and there was also the Champions League“, said J. Carragher.
P. Coutinho managed to score 12 goals and provide 8 assists before leaving halfway through the season.
