When Coutinho returned to FC Barcelona, the fans were very excited about the duo they could do with Lionel Messi, but that did not happen. Koeman little by little began to relegate Coutinho from the first team of FC Barcelona and rumors of a fight with Messi began to appear. Now the truth is revealed as to why both Messi and Koeman cannot make Coutinho play.

When FC Barcelona arranged the transfer of Coutinho with Liverpool there were some clauses in the contract that today would harm the Spanish team. FC Barcelona had the idea that Lionel Messi with Coutinho were going to be unstoppable but none of those happened. Coutinho was loaned to Bayern Munich and there if a better version of the Brazilian was seen.

The only reason Koeman can't put Coutinho on is that if he plays 10 more games for the starting team, FC Barcelona will have to pay Liverpool an extra $ 20 million. FC Barcelona paid $ 100 million for the transfer of Coutinho but also signed a clause that if Coutinho played a certain number of games, FC Barcelona would have to pay $ 20 million more.

After this information came to light, the rumors that Lionel Messi would have argued with Coutinho or that Koeman did not want him due to his low level are over. We will have to wait to find out where Coutinho will play next season but surely it will not be at FC Barcelona since in addition to having a great salary, if he stays they must pay Liverpool a fortune.
