<p>Early in 2018, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a> splashed the cash and acquired one of the most dominating players of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Premier League</strong></a> at that time. <strong>Philippe Coutinho</strong> packed his bags and left <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/liverpool-t26467" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Liverpool</strong></a> for €120 million plus€40m in add-ons, making him<strong>the most expensive signing in the Culeshistory</strong>.</p>
<p>Needless to say, the Brazilian star <strong>hasn’tlived up to expectations at all</strong> so far. When he set foot at the Camp Nou, everyoneexpectedto see glimpses of the magic he showed in England. But Coutinho never came close to the figurehe was at Anfield.</p>
<p>Flash-forward to the beginning of the 2021-2022 season,Barcelona <strong>are still wondering what went wrong with him</strong>. He was seen as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/neymar-t25325" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Neymar</strong></a>‘s replacement and was undoubtedly a massivesigning at that moment. But so far, Coutinho did little to pay back the millions spent on him. What’s worse, <strong>the Catalans may have to pay another €20 million</strong> to Liverpool this season.</p>

<h2>The clause in Coutinho’s contract that would cost another €20 million to Barca</h2>
<p>It’s no secret that Coutinho’s stint atBarcelona has not been going as expected. Instead of helping themtaste <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-with-most-uefa-champions-league-titles-of-all-time-20201021-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Champions League</strong></a> glory again, he spent most of the time off the field and was even sent on loan to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bayern Munich</strong></a> – where he didn’t do much but punishBarca twice in the infamous8-2 UCL quarterfinal clash.</p>
<p>This season, however, Barcelona could be forced to comply with another clause in his contract. According to <em>Sport</em>, <strong>ifPhilippe Coutinho makes 100 apperances with the Blaugrana, they would have to pay an extra €20 million to Liverpool</strong>.</p>
<p>The Brazilian <strong>is only ten games shy</strong> of reaching that milestone, as <strong>he played for Barca on 90 occasions so far</strong>. When the Cules acquired Coutinho, <strong>nobody could have imagined thiswould have taken so long</strong>.</p>

<p>But he struggled to impress from the very beginning. He failed to shine in his first 22 appearances duringthe second half of 2017/18 and things wouldn’t improve soon. Despite his number of games increased to 54 the following season, Coutinho’s form went downhill and was loaned to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bundesliga-t111" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bundesliga</strong></a> giants.</p>
<p>Last season, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ronald-koeman-t135769" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ronald Koeman</strong></a> believed he could bounce back. Sadly, Coutinho’s constant injuries prevented him from proving his worth and a major meniscus setback in December ruled him out for the remainder of the season.</p>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barelona-philippe-coutinho-on-7-premier-league-teams-radar-20210813-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">He was linked with a move away</a> from Barca this summer but he ultimately stayed. Will he finally pay Koeman’s confidence back on the field and become the superstar he once was? It remains to be seen, but what we know is that by playing only ten more games, Barcelona <strong>will suffer his expensive arrival’s impact again</strong>.</p>

Barcelona may have to pay another €20m to Liverpool for Coutinho this season

Barcelona may have to pay another €20m to Liverpool for Coutinho this season - Bolavip US

<p>Ever since he left<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/liverpool-t26467" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a>, Philippe Coutinho</strong> hasn’t been the same. His tenure in<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a></strong> has been nothing short of a nightmare, and he couldn’t take his career off the ground with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-t185842" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Bayern Munchen</strong></a> either.</p>
<p>The Brazilian playmaker was once considered one of the <strong>top talents in the world.</strong> But his dip in form made him lose a lot of ground in the pecking order and he’s not even getting called up for the national team anymore.</p>
<p>That’s why he’s looking forward to getting as far away from Camp Nou as possible, and given Barcelona’s financial crisis, they also need to get rid of him. Luckily for him, he’s got as many as 7 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/english-premier-league-2021-2022-schedule-20210812-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">English Premier League</a> teams interested in his services, <strong>according to the Liverpool Echo.</strong></p>
<h2>Philippe Coutinho Linked With 7 EPL Teams</h2>
<p>According to multiple reports, Coutinho is on <strong>7 Premier League</strong> team’s radars, which isn’t surprising considering how much of a difference-maker he was during his days in Anfield. Here, we let you know who’s keeping tabs on him:</p>
<h2>Everton</h2>
<p>Coutinho could commit the ultimate sin and return to Liverpool but not for the team he became a star in. Instead, <strong>Everton </strong>could look to pair him with his compatriot Richarlison to kick off the Rafa Benitez era.</p>
<h2>Leicester City</h2>
<p>The Brazilian star knows what it’s like to play for Brendan Rodgers, so this doesn’t come as a surprise. <strong>Leicester City </strong>want to compete with the top-5 teams, and adding him would give their offense a big boost.</p>
<h2>Tottenham Hotspur</h2>
<p><strong>The Spurs</strong> are expected to lose Harry Kane at any time now, and while Coutinho is nowhere near Kane’s level, his experience coming off the bench would certainly mitigate the Citizen’s departure.</p>
<h2>Manchester United</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210813_BUS_174201_coutinho_manchester_united.jpg_20222851_b8d5bbf1.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Coutinho vs. Manchester United. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Every time there’s a player available, you better guess that <strong>Manchester United</strong> is following his steps. They’ve already spent a lot of money on Jadon Sancho, so making a run at Coutinho seems unlikely, though.</p>
<h2>Arsenal</h2>
<p><strong>Arsenal</strong> have been trying to get back to the top of the EPL for quite some time, albeit to no avail. They have an interesting attacking front with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepé, and Coutinho would give them an extra pair of fresh legs coming off the bench.</p>
<h2>Chelsea</h2>
<p>The reigning UEFA Champions League winners have already spent a lot of cash but it seems like Thomas Tuchel isn’t done buying players just yet. Coutinho would have a tough time getting enough minutes here, but he’s reportedly drawing interest from <strong>Chelsea.</strong></p>
<h2>Liverpool</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210813_BUS_174201_coutinho.jpg_20222851_0f08c2ae.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Coutinho at Liverpool. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>And last but not least, we have<strong> Liverpool. </strong>Coutinho has been linked to a homecoming ever since he left but it doesn’t seem like Jurgen Klopp has forgiven him for the way he forced his move out of the team. The Reds could use another playmaker, though.</p>

Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho on 7 Premier League teams' radar - Bolavip US

<p>It’s safe to say that being a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/raheem-sterling-open-to-leave-manchester-city-for-right-offer-20210707-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">big-name signing</a> doesn’t always translate into success. If not, just ask <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona’s</a> Philippe Coutinho. </strong>The Catalans broke the bank to sign him some years ago, yet he could never replicate his performances at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/liverpool-t26467" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Liverpool.</strong></a></p>
<p>Coutinho has struggled ever since leaving Anfield and his contract has been a huge nightmare for Barcelona. They even have to pay more for him when Liverpool won the <strong>UEFA Champions League,</strong> albeit he wasn’t on the team anymore.</p>
<p>Now, however, it seems like his nightmare spell is finally set to come to an end, as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/brazil-t146535" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazilian</a> playmaker </strong>is eager to leave the club and is drawing interest from three teams. Barcelona are desperate to sell him to try and mitigate the financial impact of his deal.</p>
<h2>Transfer Rumors: 3 Teams Want To Sign Philippe Coutinho</h2>
<p><strong>Multiple teams</strong>have expressed an interest in signing Brazil forward Philippe Coutinho, 29, from Barcelona, according to reports by Spanish outlet <strong>Sport and BBC Sports News.</strong></p>
<h2>Leicester City</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210709_BUS_172789_coutinho_barcelona.jpg_22993414_fab5fcfb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Philippe Coutinho. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>English club <strong>Leicester City</strong> wants to sign Philippe Coutinho, which doesn’t come as a surprise considering that Brendan Rodgers already coached him during his time at Liverpool. Perhaps, that’s just what he needs to get his career back from the ground.</p>
<h2>AC Milan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210709_BUS_172789_coutinho.jpg_22993414_d5c50205.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Philippe Coutinho. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Italian giants <strong>AC Milan</strong> are also keeping tabs on the Brazilian flop. He’s familiar with Serie A from his time at Inter Milan and they’re in some need of playmaking. They have a history of signing struggling players so it’s not exactly shocking.</p>
<h2>Inter Milan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210709_BUS_172789_philippecoutinho.jpg_22993414_b5385295.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Philippe Coutinho. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>And last but not least, we find the Nerazzurri, the team that didn’t exactly trust him to become a star earlier in his career. <strong>Inter</strong> want to make a splash in Europe next season and believe that pairing him with Lautaro Martínez or Romelu Lukaku would be a step in the right direction.</p>
