Philippe Coutinho has landed in Germany to finalise his season-long loan move to Bayern Munich.

The Brazil international is expected to undergo a medical on Sunday before agreeing to a deal that includes an option for the Bundesliga champions to purchase him on a permanent basis.

Barca spokesman Guillermo Amor announced Coutinho's impending departure on Friday, ahead of the club's season-opening loss to Athletic Bilbao.

Coutinho had been linked to Paris Saint-Germain as a potential makeweight in a swap deal that would have sent compatriot Neymar back to Barca, while Premier League clubs Arsenal and Tottenham are said to have investigated loan moves before their transfer window closed.
