Ronald Koeman and the Barcelona directors have decided to give Philippe Coutinho a third chance to show what he can do at the Camp Nou.

No interesting offers for the Brazilian have been presented to Barcelona, which is one of the main reasons why the player is set to stay on for the 2021/22 season.

Coutinho arrived at Barcelona halfway through the 2017/18 campaign and struggled to fit in, before going out on loan to Bayern Munich for the 2019/20 season.

He was then given a second chance last summer under Koeman and started that season well, before his form did drop off and he eventually suffered a long-term injury.
