Report: FC Barcelona Make Final Decision On Philippe Coutinho

FC Barcelona have reportedly made their final decision on Philippe Coutinho, who continues to be linked with a return to the Premier League.

The Brazilian joined the Catalan outfit in January 2018 from Liverpool for a fee believed to be €120million, although he has failed to replicate the form he showed at Anfield.

After a trophy-laden loan spell at Bayern Munich, the 29-year-old returned to the Camp Nou this past season but has been out injured since January.

With the club now looking to reduce their wage in order to register new players, Diario Sport have reported that the Brazilian midfielder will be moved on in this transfers window.

Coutinho has returned for pre-season training in Catalonia, with the club determining that he is ready to compete again and the report adds that would help Barcelona's chances of finding a suitor.

A number of Premier League sides are said to be keen, while Olympique Marseille and AC Milan have also been linked with the Brazil international, who has racked up 90 appearances for the Spanish club since 2018.
