PHILIPPE COUTINHO could be stripped of his shirt "No7" for the new signature Antoine Griezmann.
And that could bring the former Liverpool striker closer to the camp Nou exit.

Manchester United, Chelsea and even his former Liverpool club have all been badociated with this 27-year-old.
And the French giants of Paris Saint-Germain will not fail to express their interest, especially if they lose Neymar.
Griezmann has worn the No. 7 throughout his career, AS reporting that it's about his "lucky number".
And once his move to Barca done, he should ask for the number.
This would leave the club in the awkward situation of taking the £ 142 million figure when Coutinho signed.
Griezmann's transfer from Atletico also creates another problem – his former club claiming the deal is currently "invalid".
Atletico estimates that Griezmann, 28, has made it clear that he wants to join Barcelona well before his release clause goes from 180 to 108 million pounds at the beginning of the month.
ATLETICO READY TO COMBAT
And Atletico is now ready to take legal action to compel Barcelona to pay the rest of the money, ie £ 72 million.
Griezmann had been tied to both Barca and Manchester United for about two years before sealing his £ 108 million deal.
And the French international has signed a five-year contract until June 2024, including a ridiculous release clause of £ 720 million.
But the Atleti are ready to face the high powers of Spanish football with an official statement: "We believe that the amount deposited is insufficient to comply with the release clause of Griezmann.
"It's obvious that he's committed to Barcelona before the amount has been reduced
"It is also May 14 that the player announced his club dissociation.
"Atletico believes that the termination of the contract took place before the end of last season and has therefore already begun the procedures it deems appropriate for the defense of the rights and legitimate interests of the club."
