Brazzo just confirmed in an interview with ZDF that is the way the deal is structured. Deal is almost reached "1 year loan with a buy option in favour of Bayern" was his claim. I wonder what the option to buy transfer fee is? But yeah, in general it sounds like a great deal as Coutinho is a quality player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt it's a similar value to the James option to buy transfer fee. I believe James's option to buy fee was 40 to 45 million Euros. I think that Coutinho's option to buy clause won't be less than 80 million Euros. Anything less than that, I would call a real bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Coutinho is getting way more stick than he deserves. Quality player. It didn't work out at Barca because hes a quite kid, maybe even shy. Then he walks into a dressing full of absolute pillocks that think they're bigger than Barcelona itself.

It's €120m and already set in the loan clause if Bayern choose to execute the non-obligatory option to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 5 minutes ago, LFCMadLad said: Which they wont. I would say it all depends on the season he has at Bayern to be honest. I'm not so sure Coutinho is a better footballer than James at all. Coutinho is very telented and in the right environment with the correct style of play he is an amazing player to have because he has to be watched with the opposition having to make plans. James is the same in terms of requiring the correct environment and style of play but on song he offers more diversity and can do more things. If I had a choice to sign either one of them with a team that's going to play the right way to get the best out of the two, then curiously I would choose Coutinho even after what I've just said and the simple reason for this is because with Philippe Coutinho you're getting a footballer that doesn't think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread and he really does work hard, something that James won't do as he gives me all the sensations of a primadonna.

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Coutinho would have been class under a different coach. Pretty much every player at Barcelona look worse under Valverde than they did before working under him if we are honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
