5. His Market Value & Inter's Financial Woes
Inter Milan's financial difficulties have not been a closely guarded secret in recent times.* Last season, they had to sell top goalkeeper Julio Cesar to QPR because of their need to get him off their wage bill.** Similarly, they ended up losing Wesley Sneijder (above) to Galatasaray because the Dutch midfielder would not accept a proposed cut to his wages. They find themselves in a similar situation with Philippe Coutinho, which is why his market value is as low as it is. At just £8 million, Liverpool would be getting themselves a bargain by completing the deal to bring the Brazilian to Anfield. Brendan Rodgers simply must take advantage of Inter's precarious situation now before his valuation sky-rockets in the future. Source(s): *
