Barcelona sign coutinho

A popular transfer rumor!

According to various sources, including BBC Sport and ESPN, Barcelona have indeed signed Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool for a reported fee of £142 million (€160 million).

The deal was announced on January 6, 2018, and Coutinho signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Catalan giants. The transfer was a major coup for Barcelona, who had been chasing the Brazilian playmaker for several months.

Coutinho's move to Barcelona was seen as a significant blow to Liverpool, who had been reluctant to sell their star player. However, the Reds ultimately accepted a bid from the Spanish club, citing the player's desire to join Barcelona as a major factor in their decision.

Since joining Barcelona, Coutinho has struggled to replicate his form at Liverpool, and has faced criticism for his performances. Despite this, he remains a talented player with a lot to offer, and many fans are hoping he can rediscover his best form and help Barcelona achieve success in the future.
