The Coutinho – Aubameyang barter gets complicated

HONOR



The acceleration in the signing of Martin Odegaard by Arsenal It has meant an important slowdown for the interests of FC Barcelona to close a barter between Coutinho and Aubameyang.

The gunner club advanced yesterday in a very significant way in the negotiations with Real Madrid to incorporate the young Norwegian player and the agreement was finalized.

Arsenal will make a major investment to sign Odegaard. Londoners will pay 40 million euros for a footballer who already acted on loan last season and with a great future ahead.

Real Madrid has not had patience with him and has preferred to take advantage of this market opportunity to obtain a large income for a footballer who joined at the age of 16 and paid just two million euros.

After taking this step, Arsenal will take the possible incorporation of Coutinho more calmly. Not only because he plays in a position similar to Odegaard’s, but also because of the economic wear represented by this signing. Interest in ‘Cou’ remains since it is a global crack called to mark the differences that can be accessible, but the English want to take their time to analyze if the operation is viable.

The Barça, for its part, will have no choice but to wait and continue to move the footballer in the market in case another club knocks on the door in the next few hours. The start of the domestic leagues plays in favor of FC Barcelona since many clubs then detect their shortcomings and the signing of a footballer of the level of Coutinho can always be a coup.

FRONT EARRINGS

The blocking of the operation affects Barça economically because You cannot get rid of a footballer who raises the salary limit in a very notable way, but he also has his sporting influence. The club was very interested in Aubameyang to reinforce the attack tip.

Ronald Koeman wanted to sign another striker and the Gabonese perfectly fulfilled the requirement of being a proven and reliable player in the face of goal. Nevertheless, Aubameyang will have to wait and other opportunities that may arise before August 31 should be explored.

Koeman would feel more comfortable with another striker in the squad to face the season, but he is aware that the club’s situation still prevents it.
