Philippe Coutinho remains the third most expensive player in football history after completing a £142m move from Liverpool to Barcelona, but there is confusion in Spain over remaining clauses in the dealPhilippe Coutinho remains the third most expensive player of all time after joining Barcelona for £142million from Liverpool in January 2018. It is believed that Liverpool have now received the full fee for Coutinho, and the money was excellently reinvested in Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk. However, confusion in Spain surrounding the clauses embedded within the deal have led some to believe that the payments are not yet complete. To make matters worse for Barcelona, Coutinho was part of Bayern's side that knocked them out of the Champions League that season, scoring twice against his parent club to humiliate the Spanish side. Do Barcelona regret signing Philippe Coutinho?
