Coutinho arrived at the Camp Nou as the star signing last season, but has not borne fruit. Since his arrival at Barca, the Brazilian international has played 63 official games for the Catalan side in which he has scored 18 goals. A long away from the registers he achieved in the Premier League. For example, in his last full season at Liverpool, the man from Rio de Janeiro managed to net 14 goals and get nine assists in 36 matches.
In 41 games which he has played this season for Barcelona, he has only been able to find the net nine times and give four assists. No one knows what is happening to Coutinho at Barcelona, but where does his future lie? It's a question which his agents ask and knowing full well that he is running out of chances at the Camp Nou, he has been offered again to the Premier League, a return to the competition in which he became a star.
At 26, the Brazilian international midfielder could play again in the English league at a big club like Man Utd or Liverpool again, teams which are capable of paying 100 million euros which Barca would demand for his transfer.
According to information from 'AS', Kia Joorabchian and Giuliano Bertolucci have already offered Coutinho to the team from Manchester, although it seems at least initially that the 'Red Devils' are not interested. Furthermore, 'Sport' adds that a meeting between the Barca bigwigs and the Brazilian's agents to determine his future and which shirt he will wear next season.
Therefore, after a season with more sadness than happiness, his performance in the Brazilian national team is more than vital in order to offer himself in the market, to catch the eye of a club willing to splash the cash for his transfer. Also his performances can put him in the shop window in a summer transfer market, which will be loaded with stars who do not have a contract.
