Philippe Coutinho's agent, Kia Joorabchian, has spoken yet again about his client's future. Bayern Munich, the team he is on loan at, face FC Barcelona, his parent club, in the Champions League quarter-finals. Whilst the general belief is Coutinho won't be playing for either side next season, his agent has reiterated that a Camp Nou return isn't off the table.

"Once the Champions League has finished, whatever happens, we'll all sit down and talk," the agent told talkSPORT. "It could be that Barcelona is the ultimate destination."

Coutinho's future appears to be back in England but that idea has been complicated by recent world events. 

 

“He loves the Premier League, but the finances and the numbers and the situation of COVID are going to play a big part. He’s a big player with big numbers.”
