Coutinho is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, but the Bundesliga club will not exercise their purchase option.

The Brazilian, who had previously played for Liverpool in England is eyeing a return to the Premier League.

Chelsea are hoping to negotiate down Barca’s current €90 million asking price for the player and Arsenal are also believed to be keen.

The 27-year-old’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, recently admitted that the player “would love a return to the Premier League” one day.

However, Joorabchian insists he will not influence which English club Coutinho chooses.
