There is one big change from Liverpool-
According to several sources, Phillippe Coutinho is close to joining FC Barcelona. The player wants to leave. Barcelona are going to offer a ton of money. Journalists are saying it’s only a matter of time.
But wait a second. Didn’t we hear this all before? In the summer transfer window, Barcelona were heavily linked with the Liverpool star. It looked like a done deal to many journalists. Yet, it didn’t happen.
So are we getting taken for a ride again?
Well, there is one big change from then and now: Liverpool-based journalists are taking a different stance. In the summer, Barcelona-based sources were confident of the deal, but Liverpool sources were not. Quite the opposite - they voiced a lot of skepticism. Perhaps we could conclude that Barcelona journalists heard one side of the story - the club’s confidence - but not the other part - that Liverpool would refuse all offers.
But look at what Liverpool-based journalists are saying now.
Paul Joyce, writing in The Times, said Liverpool is considering Coutinho go this month. And Melissa Reddy wrote “seems to now be a matter of when not if a deal will be done.”
This is a big - and telling - change.
