#2 Philippe Coutinho (Barcelona)- £141.6 million
Coutinho is the most expensive player in the history of Spanish football, having made the move to Barcelona a year ago in a move worth around £140 million from Liverpool. Things haven’t really worked out as he would have hoped though, and there are questions being asked about his future, including rumoursthat he could make a sensational move to Manchester United this month.
He has started just nine league games for Barcelona this season, and his last goal came in the 5-1 hammering of rivals Real Madrid in October. It had been hoped that he would act as a replacement for Andres Iniesta who left the club for Japan, but things haven’t really worked out that way. It could be that the Brazilian’s Barcelona dream could be coming to an end.
