FC BarcelonaEnd of assignment
Philippe Coutinho ends his loan at Bayern on June 30. In theory, that day he would have to return to Barcelona because the German club does not intend to make effective the purchase option that it has over him valued at 120 million. Given the exceptional situation that soccer lives around the world,Bayern is planning to extend this transfer. Ask for an extension until the Champions League ends in August.
Both Coutinho and Barcelona should seriously consider their refusal of this request. Firstly, because contractually the law is on your side. The logical thing, if Barcelona agrees to stay with the Bavarian club, would be to ask for the proportional part of the two extra months of assignment. In other words, 1.5 million euros because Bayern paid 8.5 for the annual loan. The Bavarian club will hardly give up that money.
Also keep in mind that the footballer is injured. For the Catalan clubthe exit in the market of Coutinho would be key. And if it cannot be sold, a new assignment. To achieve this, the Brazilian must be in excellent physical condition.Can’t risk a relapseand if he is at Bayern, Barcelona has no control over the footballer’s physical condition. Better that he recover perfectly so that he can talk about it in the market.
And finally, the sports theme appears. In Champions it could occura confrontation between Barcelona and Bayern in the Champions League. Can you imagine that with this extension of the loan, the Germans get off Setien’s team for a goal by Coutinho? That would be funny. Barcelona must seriously consider the convenience of giving the footballer extra time in Munich. You have very little to gain.
