Who wants Philippe Coutinho? This is one of the main questions that has come up frequently on all the lips of the leaders of FC Barcelona for some time. Especially since since this Saturday, January 1, 2022, the winter transfer window has officially opened its doors and each team has one month to do its shopping but also to get rid of its unwanted people.
It is precisely in this category that the Brazilian international is placed, once brilliant with Liverpool and today marketed as a vulgar deadweight by the Catalan management. According to the latest information from Sport, Palmeiras, a time cited among the potential drop-off points for the Auriverde attacking midfielder, has decided not to activate the Coutinho track this winter.
Palmeiras prefers to take a goalscorer
The Spanish daily adds that that Abel Ferreira, coach of the two-time winner and Copa Libertadores title holder, has preferred to prioritize recruiting a center-forward in the coming weeks. Because Deyverson should, except surprise, go to other skies soon, while the veteran Luiz Adriano could go swell the ranks of the Internacional.
Still, this is an exit door that is closing for Philippe Coutinho. And the latter therefore still does not know what his future will be made of. One thing is certain: he made the decision to leave Barça in order to put as much luck as possible on his side to play the next World Cup in Qatar at the end of 2022. A departure would delight everyone, to begin with by the finances of Culés. It remains to be seen who will want to revive Private Coutinho.
