"Sport": P. Coutinho will return to "Barcelona" after the season

Philippe Coutinho will not stay in Germany - Catalan media reports that Bayern Munich has no intention of buying out the Brazilian's contract.

The 27-year-old attacking midfielder moved to the Bavarian team last summer on a loan agreement. Barcelona included the possibility of buying out the player's contract in the deal, but the amount is more than impressive - 120 million euros.

"Sport" indicates that precisely for this reason, Bayern does not intend to approach Barcelona regarding the purchase of the contract.

P. Coutinho has not convinced with his performance in Bayern's ranks during the half-year, although the statistics are not bad - he scored 7 goals and made 8 assists in 27 matches.

The Brazilian still has a contract with Barcelona valid until 2023.
