Ex-PSG star Da Fonseca: Coutinho better for Barcelona than Dembele

Former Argentina and PSG striker Omar Da Fonseca rates Philippe Coutinho ahead of Ousmane Dembele.

Da Fonseca says signing the Liverpool midfielder ahead of Dembele would've worked out better for Barcelona.

He said, "If the recruitment of Dembele suits me? Yes.

"(But) after, I think Coutinho would have done more. He is more experienced, scored more goals. If Dembélé can bring an electric wing more than Coutinho? Yes, but in the pure 'attack' aspect, Coutinho is the top level.

"After him, I'd put (Sergi) Busquets behind, with Paulinho."
