Philippe Coutinho is another big-money signing who has so far failed to pull his weight in La Liga.

The 26-year-old had been a long-term target for the Blaugrana and was signed in January 2018 for the hefty sum of €142m, making him the most expensive player of all time for the Catalans and the third costliest in history.

The Brazilian international was signed to be the long-term replacement for the legendary Andres Iniesta and he performed significantly well in his first half season, raising expectations ahead of his first full season.

That proved to however be a false start, as the former Liverpool man totally struggled throughout the course of the 2018/209 season and found himself the target of boos from the Barcelona faithful.

His position at the club is so untenable that it has been suggested that he is seeking a move away from the Nou Camp just over a year after arriving and with Manchester United and former club Liverpool rumored to be interested, a move back to the Premier League could offer a reprieve from his Barcelona nightmare.
