In Germany they say that Bayern will not stay at Coutinho

A few months ago, in the past summer transfer market, FC Barcelona reached an agreement with the Bayern Munich for the transfer of one year of Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian midfielder failed to live up to the expectations that were generated in the Camp Nou Following his arrival and the Bavarian team was an exhaust valve for the Rio, which sought to meet its best version.

The loan was estimated at just over 8 million euros, in addition to the full payment of the player’s card by Bayern Munich. Further, a non-mandatory purchase option was agreed at the end of the season worth 120 million euros, little less than what FC Barcelona ended up paying Liverpool at the beginning of 2018 to take it to Barcelona.

In the Allianz Arena, Coutinho has had ups and downs, but in recent weeks he has taken ownership and has become an important footballer after the dismissal of Niko Kovac and the appointment of Hans-Dieter Flick. In fact, both costumes and technical staff are delighted with the contributions of the Brazilian, who give quality to the Bavarian core.

However, according to the information published by Bild this Wednesday, Bayern Munich’s board of directors would have decided not to exercise the 120 million purchase option they have at the end of the season to take ownership of Coutinho. From the high spheres of the German entity, it is considered an excessive price for the performance that the carioca is giving, which turns 28 in June.

Back to Barça’s plans

If the voices given by the German media are finally confirmed, FC Barcelona will have a serious problem in summer. The Catalans had the money of the transfer of Coutinho to plan the following season and to square the accounts, so they must find a new destination that minimizes the losses of the club culé, which has already paid 135 million to Liverpool counting the fixed part and The variable.

Today, it seems unlikely that Coutinho has a place in FC Barcleona due to its high profile, which is close to 12 kilos per year, so it will be urgent to organize an auction. Remember that Bayern Munich has already rejected a purchase option that it had for James Rodriguez in an operation with the Real Madrid similar to that of carioca, so it is very likely that the same scenario will be repeated.
