just wondering, what do you value Coutinho at currently?
for me 90m at best is realistic, hes basically a record signing bench warmer going into next season with no place in midfield and Dembele ahead of him on the wing.. add to that Chelsea won't be able to buy any players i'm struggling to think of a top club who would buy him. United maybe if they sell Pogba but Coutinho would want CL football
so imo 100mil+ Coutinho for the 2nd best player in the world (when fit) is a great deal for us
(all hypothetical as i don't see a hope in hell Neymar is leaving PSG)
I don’t know how much we can sell Coutinho for but I would think at least 80m. Therefore in my opinion Neymar is not worth 180m, given all those things I listed above. There is no way PSG bought him for 222m several years ago and we now have to pay upwards 180m to get an older and much worse (in my opinion) Neymar back. I know 222m wasn’t true market value back then, but still. I also disagree that he is the 2nd best player in the world when fit. Bottom line is I just don’t want him to come back with us paying a lot of money (both transfer fee and salaries).
