5 players Barcelona could have signed with £142 million Coutinho money

Liverpool v Swansea City - Premier League
Coutinho is now the second-most expensive player in the world

#2 Christian Pulisic

Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund - UEFA Champions League
Pulisic is a future star

The first thing that might come to the minds of people right now is that Pulisic is a winger. Well, actually, he is everything. You want a right-back, Pulisic is here. You want a left-forward, Pulisic is here.

You want a central-midfielder, Pulisic is here—his best position is yet to be uncovered. However, one gets the impression that he will be renowned as one of the best central-midfielders in the game. Indeed, he has every quality to be an all-round midfielder that can do almost anything.

His time in the backline has moulded his defensive abilities while his time in the attack has developed his passing and creativity. In midfield, he can display all these abilities in a dynamic role.

He could have been the focal point for Barca’s system—and would have definitely cost lesser than Coutinho—even though Dortmund don’t share a good relationship with the Cules after their pursuit of Ousmane Dembele.
