Barcelona Secures Philippe Coutinho’s Services

DBasia.news –  FC Bayern Munchen has continued to bring in new players. Reporting from the official Bayern page, the club has managed to secure the services of Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona with a seasoned loan status.

Philippe Coutinho joined Barcelona in the 2018 winter transfer window. At that time, Coutinho was recruited from Liverpool to treat Neymar’s departure.

Unfortunately Philippe Coutinho failed to seal a place in Barcelona’s first team. Moreover, the Blaugrana had recruited Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid in the 2019 summer transfer window.

Not to mention the news of Neymar’s return to Barcelona blew vastly. The result, Philippe Coutinho has had difficulty in trying to find a place on the front lines of the Blaugrana.

As a result, Philippe Coutinho also agreed to be loaned out to Bayern Munich. Die Roten will borrow the Brazilian midfielder throughout the 2019-2020 season.

Bayern Munchen has paid a loan fee of 8.5 million euros and paid Philippe Coutinho’s salary. The Bundesliga champion has the option to redeem Coutinho with a tag of 120 million euros.

Philippe Coutinho has undergone medical tests at Bayern Munchen on Sunday (18/8). Coutinho felt the move was a challenge in a new country.

“I see this move as a challenge. I can’t wait to defend a club like Bayern Munchen. I have big ambitions and I am confident in achieving it here,” stated Philippe Coutinho.

Together with Bayern Munchen, Philippe Coutinho will wear the number 10 back number. Incidentally, the number has been empty after Arjen Robben retired.
