The Brazilian is in the final stages of his recovery from a knee injury

Philippe Coutinho's future could be in Milan. The Brazilian playmaker is still recovering from a knee injury but he's aware that he's not in Barcelona's plans.

Therefore, his agent, Kia Joorabchian, is looking for an exit. According to Tuttosport, he's been in contact with Serie A side AC Milan to discuss the possibility of a deal, which would have to be a loan.

Milan are back in the Champions League next season, making them an interesting option for Coutinho, who previously played for Inter.

In addition, Milan have also lost Hakan Calhanoglu, who has joined rivals Inter, so they are in the market for an attacking midfielder.

Coutinho, therefore, has emerged as an option, while Everton's James Rodriguez is also on the table.

In England, meanwhile, there are reports that Coutinho could return to the Premier League with Leicester City, while the player would love to go back to Liverpool, although coach Jurgen Klopp isn't so keen.

What is undoubtedly true is that throughout the summer Barça and Coutinho will seek the best possible solution. Barça need to move players on and reduce the wage bill and Coutinho wants to play regularly.
