Philippe Coutinho to Undergo Bayern Medical Within 48 Hours Ahead of Barcelona Loan Move

Bayern Munich have confirmed that Barcelona forward Philippe Coutinho will arrive at the club on either Sunday or Monday ahead of a season-long loan move in Bavaria, which will include an option to buy the Brazil international next summer.

The 27-year-old only moved to Barcelona from Liverpool in a £130m deal last year, but he's struggled to find a place in Ernesto Valverde's side despite making 76 appearances for the club across all competitions.

News broke that Coutinho had reached an agreement in principle to move to Bayern Munich on Friday, and the Bundesliga champions have now confirmed that the Brazil international is expected to complete his medical with the club in the next 48 hours.
