Barcelona head coach Ronald Koeman has reportedly ruled out another loan exit for playmaker Philippe Coutinho this coming season.
The Brazil international spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan with Bayern Munich, helping the German club to a famous treble triumph.
Bayern turned down the chance to sign Coutinho on a permanent basis, though, and he is now back at Camp Nou ahead of the 2020-21 season.
A number of teams have been linked with the 28-year-old, with Premier League side Arsenal supposedly keen on a loan deal.
However, Spanish outlet Marca claims that Coutinho will be given a chance to fight for a first-team spot under new boss Koeman.
Barca's stance could change if a big offer is tabled, it is suggested, but they are not expecting that to happen.
