#3 Leon Goretzka
Now for players that are more natural central midfielders. Leon Goretzka might not be as direct as Coutinho is, but when it comes to making plays from the middle, he is perhaps better than the Brazilian.
Goretzka’s contract will end by the conclusion of this season, which means that Barcelona could have gotten him for next to almost nothing. The German is now rising up the ranks and could actually be a first-choice member of the Germany team at the World Cup.
Also, he is not cup-tied like Coutinho is, so the Catalans could have actually used him in the Champions League—something they can’t do with the former Inter man.
