During his five-year spell at Liverpool, Coutinho had emerged as one of the finest players in the Premier League, earning interest from Barcelona. After a failed summer move in 2017, Coutinho faked a back injury and paid \u20ac10 million of his own money just to get the \u20ac160 million move across the line \u2013 today, the deal remains the third-most-expensive transfer of all time behind Neymar and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s moves to Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div   id="ju52fzvkvd"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">? The decade has provided us with some truly weird and extraordinary transfer deals. So <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZachLowy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ZachLowy<\/a> did some research and takes a look at five of the worst transfer deals in the past 10 years. Read Now: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/71r15e3ITS\">https:\/\/t.co\/71r15e3ITS<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bet.machibet777-app.com (@betcoza) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betcoza\/status\/1211518166981136385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 30, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems that their world-record haul from Neymar\u2019s shocking move to PSG gave Barcelona an undeserved sense of financial invincibility in the transfer market, and the years that followed would see Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9, Antoine Griezmann and Frenkie de Jong arrive for mouth-watering sums. None of them have managed to justify their price tag \u2013 with Ousmane set to depart the club on a free transfer this summer, Griezmann returning to Atl\u00e9tico this prior summer, and De Jong\u2019s performances being eclipsed by teenage talents Gavi and Pedri. Perhaps no transfer, though, has been more damaging than Coutinho; not only has the Brazilian failed to muster a consistent run of performances for the Blaugrana or justify his annual salary of \u20ac20 million, but he also gave Liverpool some much-needed financial power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"green\">Liverpool Gain Much-Needed Financial Power<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the money received from Coutinho\u2019s departure to Barcelona in January 2018, Liverpool were able to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in the same window, as well as Alisson from Roma and Fabinho from Monaco just months later. These three played a crucial role as Liverpool knocked out Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League semifinals the following season, before defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the Final in Madrid, and they continued their impressive form in 2019\/20 to lead Liverpool to their first-ever Premier League title. Barcelona, meanwhile, decided to offload Coutinho after just one-and-a-half seasons, with Bayern Munich paying a fee of \u20ac8.5 million to sign him on loan for the 2019\/20 season, whilst also maintaining a \u20ac120 million option to sign him on a permanent deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"green\">Bayern Munich Sign Coutinho on Loan<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brazilian enjoyed a decent return for the Bavarian side, racking up a total of 11 goals and 9 assists in 38 appearances, but his inability to solidify a starting spot and an ankle injury that kept him out of the Bundesliga\u2019s restart following the COVID-19 break meant that Bayern did not take up their purchase option. Nevertheless, Coutinho left a lasting impression as Bayern went on to win the treble under Hansi Flick, his most impressive performance coming in the Champions League quarterfinal in Lisbon; within 15 minutes of coming on as a substitute against Barcelona, Coutinho scored a brace and an assist to secure an 8-2 triumph for Bayern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"green\">His Return to Bar\u00e7a<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coutinho\u2019s return to Barcelona came with renewed optimism under new manager Ronald Koeman, providing assists in Bar\u00e7a\u2019s first two league matches \u2013 a 4-0 win against Villarreal and a 3-0 win against Celta Vigo \u2013 before scoring an equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Sevilla to cancel out future Barcelona signing Luuk de Jong\u2019s opening goal. However, after a run of games that saw Barcelona lose to Getafe and Real Madrid and beat Ferencv\u00e1ros thanks to a goal from Coutinho, the Vasco de Gama academy product missed a month of action due to a hamstring injury. He made his return on November 21, 2020 in a 0-1 loss to eventual champions Atl\u00e9tico Madrid, before finding the back of the net a week later in a 4-0 win against Osasuna, but he nevertheless struggled to replicate his form over the following month. After coming on as a substitute in a 1-1 draw against Eibar on December 29, Coutinho ruptured his external meniscus, an injury that would keep him out for the next nine months, a period that would see Barcelona crash out of the Champions League at the Round of 16, lose the league title to a Luis Su\u00e1rez-backed Atl\u00e9tico, and, perhaps most damningly, lose Lionel Messi on a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain after being unable to afford to renew the Argentine superstar\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, Coutinho was unable to showcase consistency both under Koeman or Xavi, scoring just three goals across 630 minutes of football in the 2021\/22 season. It\u2019s why, desperate to shed some weight off their crippling wage bill, Barcelona elected to offload Coutinho on a six-month loan to Aston Villa, with the Villans maintaining an option to make the deal permanent for \u00a333 million. Nearly a decade after playing alongside him in Liverpool\u2019s midfield, Coutinho would now be playing under the management of Steven Gerrard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"green\">Immediate Impact<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gerrard, having replaced Dean Smith as Villa manager during the November international break, has already shown similarities with his Rangers team that ended Celtic\u2019s domestic dynasty and claimed the Scottish Premiership title last year. Implementing a hybrid of a 4-2-3-1 \/ 4-3-3, Gerrard kicked off his first spell as a Premier League manager with back-to-back victories against Brighton and Crystal Palace, a 2-1 loss to league leaders Manchester City, a win against Leicester City, and a hard-fought 1-0 defeat to Liverpool. His second month in charge was less fruitful \u2013 after defeating relegation favorites Norwich City, Villa lost to Chelsea, Brentford, and were knocked out of the FA Cup in the Third Round by an early goal from Manchester United\u2019s Scott McTominay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It forced Villa\u2019s hand in the transfer window, with the club signing Lucas Digne for \u00a325 million on a contract through 2026 after the French left back came to blows with Everton manager Rafa Ben\u00edtez, as well as bringing in Coutinho on loan from Barcelona. Anwar El Ghazi, Wesley Moraes and Keinan Davis were loaned out to make way for Coutinho, who, despite agreeing to a hefty wage cut in order to join Villa, has made a sizable dent in Villa\u2019s wage packet to the tune of \u00a3125,000 a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst Digne started at left back in Saturday&#8217;s league match against Manchester United, his ex Barcelona teammate began the match on the bench. The Red Devils took the lead within six minutes, as Emiliano Mart\u00ednez spilled a tepid shot from Bruno Fernandes and parried it into his own net. United continued to pin Villa back and push for a second goal, with a header from Swedish youngster Anthony Elanga coming close to beating Mart\u00ednez at his near post, a long shot from Mason Greenwood sailing just wide, an in general, a flurry of shots from United\u2019s attackers in the first half-hour keeping the Argentine keeper a busy man.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Villa managed to put David De Gea under pressure in what proved to be a thirty-minute period of end-to-end action, but they were unable to find an equalizer before Morgan Sanson, under pressure from Diogo Dalot, coughed up possession with an errant back pass. Fred picked up a loose ball, exploiting Tyrone Mings\u2019 poor anticipation, and dished it off to Bruno Fernandes, whose shot careened off the top post and into the back of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desperate for an instant reaction, Gerrard subbed off Sanson for Coutinho in the 68th minute, before putting on 18-year-old midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka for summer arrival Danny Ings. These two combined to make a sizable impact just seconds later \u2013 after picking up a pass from Mings in the left half-space, Coutinho began a run infield, grabbing the attention of Greenwood and Nemanja Mati\u0107, before dishing it off to a wide open Chukwuemeka. The teenager took a touch to control it before sending it back to Coutinho, who directed it towards an open Jacob Ramsey in the middle of the box, who took a touch before firing it into the bottom right corner with his left foot. It was a cathartic goal that prompted roaring cheers of approval from the Villa Park faithful, a goal created by two academy products and a fallen superstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four minutes later, Emiliano Buend\u00eda threaded a pass towards Ollie Watkins, who timed his cross to perfection. His ball sailed across the box, past the reach of the outstretched Rapha\u00ebl Varane and into the path of Coutinho, who tapped home the equalizer past David De Gea. Coutinho, who had twisted his way past Guillermo Varela before beating De Gea at his near post as Liverpool eliminated United from the 2015\/16 UEFA Europa League Round of 16, Coutinho, who had curled a long shot past De Gea to send Barcelona past United in the 2018\/19 UEFA Champions League Round of 16, had once again brought the Red Devils and its Spanish goalkeeper to their knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div   id="ju52fzvkvd"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Some things just never change. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BstS284CST\">pic.twitter.com\/BstS284CST<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Zach Lowy (@ZachLowy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZachLowy\/status\/1482432288541622273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 15, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"green\">Villa&#8217;s Upcoming Fixtures<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After their comeback draw against United, Villa now have the chance to mount an impressive run of form in the league. They travel to Goodison Park on Saturday to face off against a 16th-placed Everton side that have just sacked manager Rafa Ben\u00edtez, before taking on Leeds United (15), Newcastle (19) and Watford (17) over the next month. With a midfield featuring the likes of John McGinn, Marvelous Nakamba, Jacob Ramsey, and Douglas Luiz, and an attack boasting the likes of Ollie Watkins, Emiliano Buend\u00eda, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings, Coutinho certainly won\u2019t be guaranteed a starting spot, but he has nevertheless proven that he can be a world-class performer in the Premier League. With his contract set to expire in 2023, Barcelona will be hoping to recoup a fee of \u00a333 million in what will be their final summer to squeeze any financial value whatsoever from the 29-year-old, whilst Coutinho will be looking to win a starting spot, enjoy regular football ahead of the 2022 World Cup, and earn his first recall to the Brazil national team since October 2020. Villa, meanwhile, will be looking to get the most out of a player who, on his day, is a transformational game-changer at the elite level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI watched videos of the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, and all these playmakers, you know, around the world, like (Philippe) Coutinho &#8211; clips of him from him when he was at Liverpool. I&#8217;ve worked on my final ball. I always watch clips of Coutinho from Liverpool &#8211; it was always the final pass that was perfect and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve tried to work on this season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those were the words of Jack Grealish in a 2021 interview with BT Sport. With Grealish struggling to replicate his sensational form following his \u00a3100 million move to Manchester City, and with Villa struggling to cope with the sale of their former captain to Pep Guardiola\u2019s side, Coutinho will be hoping to make Villa fans forget about Grealish and emerge as the club\u2019s creative talisman as they look to return to Europe for the first team in over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="ju52fzvkvd"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="ju52fzvkvd"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-app.com\/sports\/soccer\/italy-serie-a\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: Primeira Liga<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each Monday, I\u2019ll be writing a weekly round-up on this season\u2019s action at BET Central, including the managers on the hot seat and the coaches who are delivering the goods for their clubs, the young prospects who are putting themselves in the spotlight, and the players and teams who are making the headlines or flying under the radar in the 2021\/22 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":36988,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","beyondwords_generate_audio":"","beyondwords_project_id":"","beyondwords_content_id":"","beyondwords_preview_token":"","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_delete_content":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"","beyondwords_hash":"","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"","speechkit_status":"","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":""},"categories":[1254,1253,1255,969],"tags":[1301,55,5,1202,1598],"yoast_head":"\n<title>European Football Weekend Round-Up By Zach Lowy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Zach Lowy rounds up the weekend&#039;s action in European football, from underperforming managers to youngsters you must take note of.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/machibet777-app.com\/soccer\/european-football-weekend-round-up-power-rankings-by-zach-lowy-6\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"European Football Weekend Round-Up &amp;
