While he would be forced to get rid of his Brazilian attacking midfielder to recruit, Xavi is said to have planned to meet him next week to seal his future. Arrived at FC Barcelona in January 2018, Philippe Coutinho should no longer last in Catalonia. While he is said to be Xavi's highest paid player, the Brazilian is likely to be pushed out this winter. Indeed, as indicated by Mundo Deportivo, Barça would be forced to separate from Philippe Coutinho in order to be able to recruit without violating the rules of financial fair play. With this in mind, Xavi would have planned to meet his number 14 very quickly. According to Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona would like to seal the future of Philippe Coutinho before the opening of the winter transfer window, in order to be able to be ready to recruit. With this in mind, the Barça management would have briefly met Kia Joorabchian, the Brazilian's agent, last Friday. And during this meeting, the two parties would have planned to meet again next week to once again discuss the situation of Philippe Coutinho and try to find a solution.
