There are reports Bayern are considering extending Coutinho’s stay on a short term basis until the Champions League is finished.

Coutinho was due to return to the Nou Camp at the end of the season.

But despite the brief respite, the Bundesliga giants, according to Sport, are not expected to make his move permanent and his Barcelona future also looks in doubt.

Latest reports suggest Bayern have offered Manchester City star Leroy Sane Coutinho’s No10 shirt and a bumper pay rise in a bid to land him in the next transfer window.

The Bavarians have been desperate to sign the German winger, 24, since last summer, before his season-ending injury in August’s Community Shield.
