Barcelona 'willing to send Philippe Coutinho on loan'

Barcelona are reportedly open to loan offers for Brazilian attacker Philippe Coutinho.

The 27-year-old only managed five goals in 34 La Liga appearances for Barca during the 2018-19 season.

A number of clubs have been linked with moves for the playmaker in this summer's transfer window, but it has been reported that the Spanish champions are yet to receive an offer.

According to Sport, Barca are keen to sell the South American on a permanent deal but would be open to the idea of a loan, providing that the agreement involves an obligation to buy at the end of the 2019-20 season.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with moves for Coutinho since the end of the previous campaign.

In total, the former Inter Milan youngster has scored 21 times and provided 11 assists in 76 appearances for Ernesto Valverde's side.
