Coutinho leaving in January transfer window makes no sense except his contract runs out in the summer.
So local journos are now saying that £133m is the number FSG want for Coutinho. And are prepared to accept in January.
Unless he's really kicking up a fuss and being a detriment to the team, so no logical reason to sell him this Jan. Agree something that he can go in the summer for £130m if need be.
Still doesn't make sense to sell him during this window. We need to secure CL for next season and disrupting the team mid season would lead to a loss in momentum. Fact is Barca need him and they can wait till the summer window.
Doesn't make a great deal of sense for Couthinho to join Barca at this bar a "free" league medal; they've basically secured the title already so Ford will have very little credibility towards that medal and he's cup tied in the CL.
As I said.... Barca don't have the money. Unless the banks are ponying here. Thry need to shift 5 or 6 players to make it work
