Barcelona midfielder Coutinho offered to AC Milan

Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho has been offered to AC Milan.

Coutinho suffered a serious knee injury in December, restricting him to just 14 appearances last season in all competitions for Ronald Koeman's men.

The Blaugrana are looking to drive down their huge wage bill, but given the 29-year-old's physical condition, the only realistic way he can leave is on loan.

Coutinho is currently in his native Brazil working to get fit ahead of the new season as his compatriots march on to the semi-finals of the Copa America after a 1-0 win over Chile.

Tuttosport says Milan are one of a number of clubs Coutinho's agent Kia Joorabchian has approached regarding a transfer, with the Rossonero looking for a new creative outlet following Hakan Calhanoglu's move to Inter Milan.
