Coutinho does not want to return to Barcelona
Brazilian star Philippe Coutinho wants to stay at Bayern Munich and has informed both the German club and Barcelona of his intention.
Philippe Coutinho joined the Spanish giants for 167m euros in January 2018 but failed to prove himself at the Camp Nou and was sent on loan to Bayern Munich.
Coutinho wants to stay out of the Allianz Arena this season, but the German giant has yet to answer Barcelona’s question whether he will use the option in the deal to buy the player for 130 million euros.
That may seem too big for Bayern, as Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo reported last week that Barcelona are ready to sell Coutinho for 80 million euros, 87 million euros less than he bought it. to sell during the summer.
The 27-year-old has played a total of 27 games for Bayern during the 2019/20 season (19 in the Bundesliga, six in the Champions League and two in the DFB Pokal), and has contributed seven goals and eight assists.
