If you look back at Coutinho's decision to move to Barcelona and how he took to life initially at the Camp Nou, it looked like a wise decision. However, a year and a half later, Liverpool have made it to their second Champions League final in a row and Barcelona have just had to endure a terrible end to their season having lost out on the Copa Del Rey after crashing out of the Champions League.

Coutinho has been granted several chances to impress. However, the midfielder has only shone sporadically and at a club like Barcelona, it is simply inexcusable. Barcelona are keen on pressing the trigger and cashing in on the Brazilian while he's worth something around the initial sum that they had to pay for him and is all set to be sold this summer.

Ousmane Dembele will join Coutinho on his way out. Dembele was bought as a like-for-like replacement for Neymar. However, Dembele's fitness and indiscipline has cast a shadow over his spell at the club and the Barcelona top brass have decided to call it a day on his life at the Nou Camp.
