Few players have struggled to make an impact at Barcelona as much as Philippe Coutinho with the Brazilianās club record moving not going according to plan. So much so, that Barcelona were willing to send the midfielder on loan to a fellow Champions League rival with Coutinho spending the 2019/20 season on loan at Bayern Munich, where he part of their Champions League-winning squad. He would return to an uncertain future at the Camp Nou, where talks of him moving on a loan wereĀ certain.Ā
However, things have changed for Coutinho under Ronald Koeman with the midfielder featuring more prominently under the Dutch coach. But that hasnāt stopped the rumour mill with the 28-year-old linked with a potential move to Juventus although Kia Joorabchian has knocked back that idea.
