It seems that Barcelona's suffering will not be limited to the biggest loss in the history of the team's Champions League participation, and it will extend to a controversy after Bayern Munich crowned the Champions League title.
Bayern Munich crushed him 8-2 on their way to the semi-finals of the Champions League, then completed the journey with success and was crowned yesterday with the sixth title in its history after beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0.
English newspapers reported that Bayern's coronation obligates Barcelona's administration to pay Liverpool 5 million euros. According to the terms of the deal to transfer Brazilian Coutinho to Barcelona in 2018.
However, the newspaper Mundo Deportivo, close to the Catalan club, confirmed that the news is not true, and that Barcelona is obligated to pay this amount in the event that Coutinho is crowned with the Barcelona shirt.
The Spanish newspaper indicated that the English believe that the matter is related to crowning the player, regardless of the club he is participating with, and explained that the Barcelona administration preferred not to respond publicly to this issue until an official position is issued from Liverpool.
Coutinho joined Barcelona in January 2018 in a deal valued at around 120 million euros; But he was unable to shine with the team and was loaned out to Bayern Munich at the start of the 2019-2020 season.
Spanish newspapers reported that the new Barcelona coach, Ronald Koeman, intends to rely on the 28-year-old Brazilian player, and he will speak with him in the coming days to explain his work plan and the role that will be assigned to him.
