Barcelona –
Philippe Coutinho seems to have a second chance to live his career at Barcelona. Coutinho will be retained by Barça for the 2020/2021 season.
The Brazilian midfielder recently returned to the Camp Nou after completing a loan deal at Bayern Munich during the 2019/2020 season. Still, Coutinho is believed to be on the list of players Barcelona will sell this summer.
However, the arrival of Ronald Koeman could be a blessing for Coutinho. According to the news Brand, Koeman has told Barcelona that he wants to stay with the former Liverpool and Inter Milan player.
It is said that the blaugrana has closed the opportunity to return to loan to Coutinho. The only way to get Philippe Coutinho out of Barcelona is through a great offer to make a permanent purchase.
However, with the financial conditions affected by the corona virus pandemic, it seems impossible to hook Coutinho. Bayern Munich chose to return Coutinho to Barcelona after refusing to activate Coutinho’s purchase option because the price reached 120 million euros.
Therefore, Koeman now has extra ammo for his squad. Barcelona immediately lost two of their veteran players: Luis Suárez and Arturo Vidal, who will reportedly move to Juventus and Inter Milan respectively.
Reported Brand Once again, Coutinho plans to be played by Koeman as a central midfielder. Meanwhile, under former Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde, Coutinho operated more as a winger with a score of 21 goals and 11 assists in 76 Barcelona games in all competitions between the 2017/18 to 2018/19 seasons.
Philippe Coutinho returns to Catalonia after getting the hat-trick with Bayern. In the Champions League, Coutinho has been the center of attention for participating in ‘hurting’ Barcelona after scoring a pair of goals for Bayern in an 8-2 quarter-final victory.
