Philippe Coutinho has completed his season-long loan move from Barcelona to Bayern Munich, which has an option to make the deal permanent for €120million.

La Liga champion Barca revealed the potential future fee is on top of an initial €8.5m loan payment. The figures fall short of the €160m deal that Barca negotiated with Liverpool in January 2018.

Coutinho will wear the number 10 jersey vacated by club legend Arjen Robben who retired in July.

Coutinho's switch from England to Spain attracted plenty of fanfare but he failed to deliver on expectations and spent periods out of Ernesto Valverde's preferred XI last season.
