Philippe Coutinho’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, has confirmed that the Brazilian will be staying at Barcelona next season and has been told he’s part of Ronald Koeman’s plans for the future.
The 28-year-old has returned to pre-season training with Barcelona ahead of schedule after winning the treble during his loan spell with Bayern.
Joorabchian says Koeman was quick to speak to Coutinho after the victory to tell him he would be wanted at the Camp Nou next season.
“Yeah. Koeman called him right after the Champions League victory with Bayern, the following day, and told him he’s very much in his plans and would like him to return.
