After his successful trip to FC Bayern, Philippe Coutinho returns to FC Barcelona. It is unclear whether he has a future.
Philippe Coutinho is back at FC Barcelona!
The offensive player trained with the Catalans again on Friday. The club announced this on Friday.
Coutinho moved from Barca to FC Bayern last summer on loan. He won the German Championship, DFB Cup and Champions League triple with the Munich team. Coutinho’s contract had been renewed
due to the Corona pandemic and the final tournament of the Champions League, but the German record champion decided against withdrawing the purchase option, which is said to have amounted to 120 million euros. That’s why the 28-year-old returned to Barcelona.
“With his creativity and excellent technique, he revived our game in the triple season,” club boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said on Wednesday about Brazilians, who scored eleven goals in 38 competitive matches last season and prepared a further nine.
Whether Coutinho has a future in Barcelona is unclear. For months it was said that the Catalans were planning without the Brazilian.
