Barcelona And Bayern Munich Confirm Philippe Coutinho Loan Move

Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic also confirmed the loan deal later on Friday.

"I can confirm that we were in Barcelona and have agreed terms with the player and his agent," Salihamidzic told broadcaster ZDF following Bayern's own league opener, a 2-2 draw with Hertha Berlin.

"We have a good relationship with Barcelona. We are still missing a few details such as the signature and the medical, but we are happy to have got a player like him."

Coutinho joined Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018 for an initial 120 million euros (USD 133 million), plus another 40 million euros in potential add-ons.
