Of course, Coutinho has been on Barcelona’s books since 2017 – but has failed to impress since his huge transfer from Liverpool.

He starred at Anfield, scoring and creating goals – though he has been unable to replicate his Liverpool form in Spain.

Coutinho, however, enjoyed a loan spell at Bayern Munich, where he won the Champions League.
