Barcelona confirm ‘agreement in principle’ with Bayern Munich for Philippe Coutinho

Barcelona director Guillermo Amor has confirmed reports that the club have an agreement in place with Bayern Munich for Philippe Coutinho.

Reports broke earlier on Friday that Coutinho could be headed to Bayern on loan for the rest of the season, and Amor confirmed the Brazilian could be off to Germany to Movistar.

“I can confirm that there’s an agreement in principle in the case of Coutinho’s loan,” he said.

The deal does not seem to be completely done yet, but Coutinho was also left out of the squad to face Athletic Bilbao and it seems a move away is close.
