Bayern Munich could break their own transfer record to make the signing of Philippe Coutinho permanent, according to Diario SPORT. The Brazilian is dazzling while on loan from Barcelona and it comes as no surprise to hear that the Bavarians want to keep him. The biggest issue is the price tag. Bayern have not followed other European giants in terms of paying gigantic transfer fees, and Barça want to recoup a large portion of the money they invested in signing Coutinho from Liverpool.
Bayern broke their record over the summer, paying 80 million euro to land Atlético Madrid’s Lucas Hernandez.
