Waiting is over - "Barcelona" official website announced that Philippe Coutinho is now a player of their team.
Speculations about the transfer of the 26-year-old footballer have been circulating all season. "Barcelona" wanted to sign a contract with the Brazilian last summer, but then "Liverpool" refused to negotiate, and this winter finally satisfied the wishes of both the player and "Barca".
"Barcelona" will have to fill the gap left by Andres Iniesta with the Brazilian. It is reported that the "Reds" sold the Brazilian for 160 million euros - 120 euros will be the player's transfer fee, and an additional 40 million euros will be paid depending on his performance.
P. Coutinho became the second most expensive footballer of all time after Neymar. This status will remain at least until next summer, when PSG will have to settle with Monaco for Kylian Mbappe.
The official "Barcelona" website announced that the Brazilian national team player will sign a contract until 2023, with a release clause of 400 million euros. The player will arrive in Barcelona tonight, and in the coming days will be presented at the "Camp Nou" stadium.
P. Coutinho played for "Liverpool" from 2012 and during that time played exactly 200 matches and scored 54 goals. Prior to that, the Brazilian also played for Inter Milan and Vasco da Gama, as well as in the ranks of Espanyol.
