Philippe Coutinho's transfer value has dropped significantly, according to football market boffins.
The Barcelona playmaker was reportedly a target of Manchester United in the January transfer window, with suggestions that they could also make an effort to sign him this summer.
And if new figures are to go by, United might be able to sign him at a somewhat reasonable price.
Barcelona paid €140million (£120m) for his services from Liverpool in January 2018, but he has struggled to make as big of an impact in La Liga as was previously hoped.
Coutinho's form has dipped so drastically that he could also lose his place in the Brazil national team.
But now Transfermarkt, a website dedicated to football number crunching, believe that Coutinho's transfer value has dropped to €100m (£86m).
Coutinho's form has been of stark contrast to that of Ousmane Dembele, who has continued to flourish at Barcelona.
French international Dembele has impressed on the pitch and has seen his personal transfer value rise.
Despite Coutinho's struggles, Barce chief Josep Maria Bartomeu has insisted that the club will be patient with him.
Speaking to Radio Kanal Barcelona, he said: “The club has taken another path, with Dembele and Coutinho, it was a bet that must be followed.
“They are the two biggest investments in the history of the club in signings and we trust 100 per cent in this bet.”
Coutinho was largely expected to fill the void left in the Barcelona team left by legendary midfielder Andres Iniesta but has struggled to step out of the Spaniard's shadow.
He was named on the bench for Wednesday night's El Clasico game with Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey and only came on in the 75th minute when his side were 3-0 up.

Coutinho is still good but he only has to be honest with himself. Messi faced something like that. Everyone knows Messi is better than NEYMAR but people used to compare NEYMAR to Messi. Only to see that Messi is still the best after NEYMAR left Barca. Now, the same thing is happening to the same NEYMAR. People are now comparing him to Mbappe. Now, Coutinho is having difficult times with Dembele. You only have to do what Messi did which is not to rush. Just be optimistic and don’t force goals, just try to help the teams with assist and little by little, you’ll get back your old form or even better. The only problem with Coutinho is that, he gets frustrated and totally out of ideas he isn’t allowed to shoot. People are very scared of his shots because he is good at it and as such very dangerous so he is not easily allowed to do so. Don’t try to be using only one style. What people don’t notice is that, Messi changes his game all the time. That is why he is unstoppable! People track him down on his weakness and little do they know that what they thought was his weakness suddenly becomes his new strength. Messi don’t also spend time thinking of which direction to pass through, he just goes. You might think he would try to dribble and he would give out an amazing pass. Not too desperate for goals so you can’t hunt him down but at the end of the day, he would top the goal chart. I think Messi can be his best helper if he seeks for his help. I only Coutinho the best of luck!
