Good and bad news for the Barcelona in the case of Philippe Coutinho. And it is that the Brazilian, who returned to the club for this season, has gone through the operating room again after an assessment visit to Qatar for his injury to the external meniscus of his left knee, which has kept him away from the tracks all of 2021.
The striker would be ready to return in early April and possibly return to an official game in the Classic against Real Madrid, but on his last medical visit he was found a cyst in his own damaged knee, the which needed a new operation.
With that, it is impossible for him to play again in this campaign, according to experts consulted by Sports newspaper of Catalonia i most likely, we will never see him dressed in a culer, as he is one of the footballers that the club plans to sell in the summer.
Philippe he barely played 14 games in that cycle, scored 3 goals and put up two assists, before breaking up on Dec. 29 in a duel against Eibar.
Why would that be good news for Barcelona?
when Coutinho arrived in 2018 at Barcelona, One of the clauses of his signing at Liverpool was that if he played more than 100 games, the Catalans would have to pay the Red another 20 million euros, added to the 120 they initially paid for it.
In its two stages as blaugrana, Cou just added 90 and can no longer play in this campaign, if sold in the summer, Barça you will save a good amount of money in the middle of your major financial crisis.
