The ex-Liverpool man is the 2nd most valuable attacking midfielder in the world right now with a valuation of about 120 million euros. Coutinho got transferred to Barcelona in January 2018 for an eye-watering sum of about £142 million making him the second costliest player ever.

The Brazilian had a very good world cup and along with Neymar acted as the talisman of the team. For Barcelona, Coutinho scored 8 times and assisted 5 more since his move in January. The 2017-18 season turned out to be the most profitable for the Brazilian maestro as he scored 22 in all competitions despite playing for two of the biggest clubs in the world.

Possessing supreme long range technique and a vision that can pick out any striker, Coutinho has all the attributes required to become the best in the business. Having played well in half a season for Barcelona, it is expected of him to truly kick on this term and become one of the best midfielders in the world.

With so much talent, the valuation of € 120 million looks stark since Barcelona already paid more to acquire the 26-year old's services.
