The long-awaited transfer from Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona was finally completed last week and the Catalans have to transfer a considerable amount of money to the Reds. Andrea Pirlo can understand that Barça touches deep in the pouch for the Brazilian, certainly because Liverpool put 84.5 million euros on the table for Virgil van Dijk.
Unlike other crazy prices, I find Coutinho’s transfer sum logical on the current transfer market. If Van Dijk costs 84.5 million euros, Coutinho is worth twice as much. That is quite logical,”says Pirlo to Sky Italia. It didn’t make much difference, or the Italian himself had made the transition to Barcelona in 2010. AC Milan wanted to involve him in an exchange deal in which Zlatan Ibrahimovic had to come to Milan.
Negotiations were held between AC Milan and Barcelona. Ibrahimovic would come to Milan and I would go in the other direction. Eventually Ibra came to Milan without barter valley “, continues the old midfielder,” It had been a wonderful experience to go to Barcelona, but I was also happy at AC Milan. I am not sure whether I would have gone to Barça in the end.
Do you agree with Andrea Pirlo?
