FC Barcelona needs to get rid of players to lighten the salary mass and be able to register both Ferrán Torres and make future signings. On the starting ramp are the usual ones: Samuel Umtiti, Luuk de Jong and Philippe Coutinho. From Barcelona they are optimistic and believe that the three players could leave the club in this winter market.
In the case of the Brazilian from the newspaper Sport They point out that he will not hinder his exit in this winter market but only contemplates two objectives, return to Serie A or the Premier League where up to four clubs have been interested in him: Everton, Leicester, Tottenham and Arsenal.
The Gunners are the great favorites to take the midfielder but they will not do it at any price and they have already let Barça know what their conditions are: that it be a transfer without a mandatory purchase option and a reduction in the footballer’s salary or that the Barcelona takes over a part of it.
As reported from the Daily Mirror, Arsenal would offer him a salary of 1 million euros per month during the months that the assignment lasts. The Gunners will try to secure the transfer of the player, although one of the great unknowns is whether the player will accept such a drastic salary cut or if Barcelona will want to take over part of the card since their objective is to reduce the salary mass.
Just in case the Arsenal option does not go ahead, from Sport They add that the player’s environment would also have contacted Everton, Leicester and Tottenham, three clubs that had already been interested in the Brazilian but would also have difficulties to take charge of the 16 million gross euros that Coutinho currently charges in the Camp Nou.
Despite the attempts of both Barcelona and the player to find a solution to their situation, the high record they have is the main obstacle and as long as their departure is not lowered it will be complicated since the clubs that could assume that expense have not been interested in the Brazilian.
