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

LaLiga champions 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’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.

Premier League clubs Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham were linked with the former Inter man, but Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said the 27-year-old expressed firm interest in a move to Allianz Arena.

Coutinho is an exciting scorer and provider at Anfield and his sole responsibility under Niko Kovac will be to fill the creative void left by James Rodriguez, after James returned to Real Madrid after two-season loan spell.

On Sunday, the Bundesliga club sealed the signing of French midfielder Mickael Cuisance from Borussia Monchengladbach on a five-year contract, while Ivan Perisic also joined on loan from Inter last week.
