The Nou Camp team said that the Brazilian midfielder's breach of contract clause reached 355 million pounds (about 400 million Euros). Although buying at a very high price of about 145 million pounds, Coutinho's breach of contract clause is not really commensurate with that price.
Remember in the summer transfer window, rumors about Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid were rampant in Spain. At that time, what everyone was interested in was the price to break CR7's contract. When we learned the figure of 886 million pounds, all of them were "octopus", including PSG had to withdraw from the Bernabeu.
Messi is a little less than CR7. As rumors of Pep Guardiola's Man City interest in welcoming him to the Etihad have surfaced, fans are also wondering how much money the Citizens need to get on El Puga.
The current binding figure for Messi and Barca is £626 million, which is also a near-impossible price for all teams that want him.
Barca's fix for Coutinho's contract termination at £355 million is quite surprising because he is now the second most expensive player in the world (after Neymar). Meanwhile, the 5-year contract that Coutinho signed with Barca has not been implemented any day.
With such a "pre-altitude and perfect conditions", if Coutinho plays well, after only about 2 years, the price to get him will be much cheaper for clubs interested in this midfielder.
Early this morning, after Barca officially announced that they had reached all agreements with Liverpool about Coutinho's case, the midfielder took a flight from England to Spain to enjoy a new life.
The price of this contract has not been announced but will range from 145 - 160 million pounds. Coutinho's jersey has not been announced at the Nou Camp.
