10 September, 2020
Philippe Coutinho's agent has confirmed where in fact the Brazilian will be playing next season.
The former Liverpool star has returned to FC Barcelona following end of his loan spell with Bayern Munich, but there is still a whole lot of speculation regarding his future.
Coutinho struggled to stay in at the Camp Nou following his big-money move from Anfield in 2018, but his name was thrust in to the spotlight after he scored twice against the Blaugrana within their 8-2 loss to Bayern in the UEFA Champions League last month.
The attacking midfielder would go on to earn a winner's medal with the Bavarians after they beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the final of your competition, and his agent, Kia Joorabchian, has revealed that he'll be residing at Barcelona.
The Daily Mail has quoted Joorabchian as saying: "(Barca boss Ronald) Koeman called him immediately after the Champions League victory with Bayern, the next day, and told him he's very much in his plans and would like him to return.
"He was due to return on 7 September but actually he returned at the start of September because he didn't want to reduce his momentum and fitness, and he's been training with Barcelona.
"All signs point to the actual fact Barcelona have changed quite dramatically, the way their philosophy of how they wished to move forward from this past year and the players they've earned, like Coutinho, (Ousmane) Dembele and (Antoine) Griezmann, they're all going to be part of the squad this year."
