Barcelona has signed Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho on loan for the rest of the season, according to reports. The 28-year-old joined the Catalan club in July 2019 but struggled to find his form and was shipped out on loan to Bayern Munich last year.
Coutinho is now back at Barcelona, where he will play alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr. The signing of the former Liverpool player comes as a relief for the club, which has been struggling with injuries and other issues this season.
The signing of Coutinho also marks a return to the club for him, who played for Barca between 2013-2014. He scored 26 goals and provided 17 assists during that time, making him one of the most prolific goal scorers in the history of the club.
The move is seen as a boost for Barcelona's midfield, which has struggled with injuries and other issues this season. With Coutinho's arrival, the club can look forward to a strong midfield presence, which could help them compete for titles this season.
Overall, the signing of Coutinho by Barcelona is a positive development for the club, and it shows that they are willing to invest in their squad despite the financial challenges they have faced this season.
