Barcelona are demanding £9m as a loan fee for Philippe Coutinho next season.

Coutinho has been widely tipped to return to the Premier League after struggling to adapt to life at the Nou Camp.

The 27-year-old who has spent this season at Bayern Munich is being pursued by several English giants with Arsenal reportedly leading the race ahead of Manchester United and Chelsea.

Mundo Deportivo says the Catalan giants are now willing to facilitate a second successive loan move, with clubs unlikely to match their £71m asking price to purchase Coutinho outright. Coutinho joined Barcelona in a £142m deal in January 2018 - the third most expensive transfer of all time.
