The new clause in Coutinho’s Barcelona contract

A new clause has emerged in Philippe Coutinho’s Barcelona contract that prevents Barcelona from signing any more Liverpool players for cheap until 2021. This is because the clause states that Barcelona would have to pay €93 million over any transfer fees that they will be charged if they choose to sign Liverpool players. 

Arguably the highlight of Coutinho’s career since moving to Barcelona was the 2 goals he scored in their decimation of Barcelona 8-2 in last season’s Champions League and then winning the treble with them while on loan at the German club. He has since come back to the Catalan club and has been hit with injuries that have hampered his overall progress at the club.

Coutinho was signed on an ambitious transfer fee worth €160 million but has failed to live up to the price tag, or his previous spell at Liverpool that saw him emerge as one of the best-attacking midfielders in the world. 

Another clause that was included in Coutinho’s contract mentioned that Barcelona would have to pay a sum of money to Liverpool once Coutinho made a certain number of appearances for Barcelona, and the player is still out on the sidelines.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is reported to be keen on wanting to part ways with Coutinho since the move has clearly not worked out for either party. But the Blaugrana will have to accept a heavy loss on the monetary side since there are practically no clubs that will pay a hefty price tag for Coutinho at this point in time.
