5 top players Barcelona might sign in January

#1 Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)

Coutinho will again be a target for the Blaugrana

Philippe Coutinho is one of those players that were heavily linked to transfer rumors during the last transfer window.

The Brazilian playmaker was expected to make a move to FC Barcelona after the departure of Neymar Paris Saint Germain in a world record transfer fee worth £222m. However, the deal did not fall through as Liverpool refused to sell their star man despite three mega bids from the Spanish giants.

However, as the winter is approaching, various news have started emerging, linking the Liverpool superstar with a move to Barcelona.

In fact, many reports claim that both the Catalan club and the player have already agreed on a contract and Coutinho is expected to make his desired move to the Camp Nou in January.

The Brazilian will definitely suit Barca's style with his awesome vision, decent passing, pace, and agility.

Besides, his versatility will give Barca manager, Ernesto Valverde more options. He can play as a midfielder, an attacking midfielder, a supporting striker or as a winger on both flanks.

At the moment, everybody expects Barca to snatch Coutinho from the Anfield including Barca legend, Ronaldinho who recently supported the speculations. The Brazilian told Sky Sport:

"I would be very happy to see such a talented player wear the shirt I wore for so many years. I believe the way he plays will perfectly suit Barcelona and would be delighted to see a player of such quality wear the shirt."
