If Coutinho comes, I'm leaving." Notice to Messi (and Barça)

A war at the Barça dressing room raises the voice
the arrival of Coutinho and the mess in the wardrobe that Messi already knows

They are already looking for the number and box office. Every hour that passes Philippe Coutinho is closer to being a player of FC Barcelona. The Catalan club and Liverpool are finishing up the details of the transfer.

It's just a matter of price. Once they agree, everything seems to be shortly, the Brazilian will pack and land at the Camp Nou , where Josep Mª Bartomeu and Ernesto Valverde await you with open arms.

Without clutch, a crack of the Catalan set does not want to hear about Philippe . So much so that he has already warned Leo Messi and the club that "if Coutinho is coming I'm going". A warning that has put the clothes upside down.

Change of role

It is none other than Ivan Rakitic . The Croatian is very aware that when the Brazilian set foot in Barcelona , his minutes in the field will be reduced drastically.

It is true that one of the reasons why the club wants to sign Liverpool is for its versatility (it can play in several positions), but its natural site is the interior, just the one occupied by Rakitic in the Valverde scheme .

Of course, do not want to rush. In case the crack comes now in winter, Ivan will miss the second round of the championship to see what his role will be in the squad. If he spends his life on the bench, he will not doubt it and, once the season is over, he will leave.

It's not the only one

However, and this time that Valverde has reason to be more than worried, Rakitic is not the only one who is in that situation. Andres Iniesta , the captain of the team and the other interior holder of Valverde , does not want to be harmed by the arrival of the carioca.

They are different situations ( Iniesta is already at the end of his career and Ivan  still has some good years left), but Andrés does not want to see how he becomes a second-rate player.

In theory, the main victim of the arrival of Coutinho would be Rakitic , but Iniesta , who already knows how this is the world of football, will also be aware of the distribution of minutes. Leo and Barça are warned.
