Who? Coutinho as brilliant as he is, is no Iniesta. He does offer some other things though... But I'd take even Rakitic and Gomes over Wijnaldum, Can, Milner, Lallana etc...

Iniesta is one of the best AMs ever, but hes not getting younger.

Rumours abound that Liverpool want €150 Million for him and that PSG are now also in for him.
I say PSG can have him for that sort of money.

I really hope that they splash at least 120 million for him, because if they do, there is no way that they won't get banned by UEFA after this and Mbappe purchase.
Thinking of that, I think that if they buy Coutinho for that price in January, they could have to return Mbappe to Monaco without buying him.

AFAIK Mbappe's loan deal has only a option to buy him. There is no obligatory clause.

Don't really believe we need to discuss the possibility of them not exercising that option.

I know, I know. There is almost no chance that P$G signs Coutinho. But if they do (not likely and not under 100m) and do it January, I believe that could be an option. An amazingly stupid one.
But yes, they will sign Mbappe and they won't sign Coutinho.

I don’t believe this to be the case. Monaco were insistent on it being obligatory because they didn’t want to get short changed. Would be pretty stupid of them if they didn’t to be honest... What if he got a major injury?
The reason the paperwork took so long was because they needed the wording for said obligation to be perfect as to not fall foul of the FFP.

It is obligatory, Monaco insisted on that since his contract ends in 2019. They didn't want him to come back with one year left and say: Hi,sell me for less or I will walk out for free
Coutinho could end up at psg and uefa wont and cant do anything. Uefa already threatend them because of mbappe and they did buy him anyway. As long as uefa doesnt change the current ffp rules psg and co. can ignore them as they please.... I mean officialy they didnt buy anyone neymar as a free agent and the loaned mbappe. Even if uefa punishes them psg could win this case at the court because ffp rules on paper are weak.....

PSG haven't bought Mbappe yet. Them signing Neymar for so much is the reason they did this loan deal for Mbappe.
Coutinho got no buyout so no way for them sign him like with Neymar. And since they're wary of not overdoing it, they won't be able to make any big name transfer next summer except for Alexis on a free transfer.
