Bayern Munich has agreed to sign Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho on loan from Barcelona.

"We can confirm that there is an agreement in principle for the loan of Coutinho to Bayern and we just have to finalise the deal," club director Guillermo Amor confirmed ahead of the game at San Mames.

Coutinho joined Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018 for an initial £142 million, but struggled to find his place at Camp Nou.

The club are also set to sign 19-year-old midfielder Mickael Cuisance from Borussia Monchengladbach.
