Former Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo claims Barcelona are right to pay €160m for Philippe Coutinho. “If Virgil van Dijk is worth €80m…”

Barca finally agreed a deal to sign Coutinho on Saturday, but the sum they will hand over to Liverpool is only surpassed by the €222m that Paris Saint-Germain spent on Neymar last summer.

“Other than the crazy prices, the price of Coutinho is in line with the prices of today,” Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia.

“If Van Dijk is worth €80m then he costs double. It’s only fair.”
