Barça and Xavi could make a bad choice in the Philippe Coutinho case. Analysis.
In recent hours, the Spanish media ABC has confirmed that Xavi had informed the Blaugrana management that he was not counting on Philippe Coutinho and that the club could therefore quite seek a taker for the Brazilian mid-striker on the transfer window.

Both sportingly and financially, FC Barcelona would have everything to gain by attempting this bet.
