Philippe Coutinho has been handed a lifeline by Barcelona manager Quique Setien in a final bid to salvage his Nou Camp career, according to reports.
The Brazilian playmaker has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League after failing to impress in Spain.
But Setien plans to play Coutinho in the No 8 role in midfield, according to Spanish outlet Marca.
