Former Inter sporting director Marco Branca spoke on former Inter starlet Phillipe Coutinho as the Brazilian looks set to complete a huge transfer to Barcelona.
“Nobody at Inter questioned his qualities. In 2010 he came in for less than four million, but today he is worth €150 million.”
Branca proceeded to discuss the current state of the transfer market and the astronomical fees seen all to often.
“There’s no way to measure the transfer market these days, but that doesn’t just apply to Coutinho, it applies to everyone. Crazy figures.”
Branca, who left Inter back in 2014, concluded the interview with La Stampa by speaking further on the 25-year-old and revealing the reasoning behind his sale to Liverpool.
“Philippe was unique then and today, he can use his left or right foot and it makes no difference. When he dribbles, he can do it from anywhere. What we did with Liverpool wasn’t a technical operation, there was a budgetary issue and the club was starting to have problems. That’s why Coutinho left.”
he will never become like today if he stayed in Inter. He can be great brcause liverpool exploit his talent, and we just eye closed about his potential.
this is purely internal issues since long ago post treble winner, that we has no consistency. mediocre players with nobkentality ( king jonathan, belfodil, taider, lor kuz, schelotto, telles, and go on) and not so smart coaches complete our misery.
Mourinho era has consistent mentality, fighting spirit, tactical genius choices, mature leaders on the pitch, and very depth squad. This is the core backbone to champions everthing in this planet, long ago.
However what happened to inter is the dynamic of football, I will support Inter even the worse case Inter is in Serie C, because we bleed black and blue, no matter what. Forza Inter.
Due To Budgetary Issues At The Club —
and what was the money you earned ?? was it 50mill, 60, .. 70mill ?
moratti, YOU MORON !
At least they could have put in a future sale clause of say 25 percent….if they knew his potential otherwise it’s meaningless to say such thing…
all interistas have to just forget about that madness or we will do something to ourselves thinking about this deal
meh, sold a diamond and kept the junks..
it looks like “inter business as usual” and
nobody feels quilty,
nobody has any consequences,
everybody is “smart” explaining that “it was a must!”,
ugly moratti even is thinking of coming back to inter …
gooooooooooooooooosh !
