There has been promise in Coutinho from a very young age. When plying his trade in his home nation with Vasco da Gama, he captured the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs and he was eventually snapped up for €4 million by Inter Milan when he was just 16-years-old.
Coutinho would be loaned back to the Brazilian side for the next two years, where he would become a first team regular before making the permanent switch to Serie A. Coutinho got game time for his nation from as young as 14, playing for the Brazilian U15s and was rightfully predicted to be one of the world’s most dangerous attacking midfielders.
