Philippe Coutinho only knows that he will not be at Bayern Munich next season. Barcelona seem to be looking for a club for him and there has been talk of him going to Chelsea. The Blues seem to have lost interest in the Brazilian though.

According to information from 'ESPN', it seems like Chelsea will pull out of the race to bid for Philippe Coutinho. The Premier League is still his most likely destination, but it does not look like he will be joining Chelsea

It is not clear what will happen to Coutinho. On the one hand, it seems clear that he will leave Barca after Bayern confirmed that they will not keep him for another year. However, Setien seems willing to use him in his formations at Barca.

But at this moment in time, rumours say that Coutinho will head to the Premier League. There has been talk of Chelsea, but 'ESPN' says it will not be like that. Chelsea will spend big this summer and Coutinho will not be one of their signings.
