The German club want the Brazilian for the cup final and the Champions League

Philippe Coutinho is back. Kind of. With Bayern Munich champions of the Bundesliga for the eighth consecutive season, they are now preparing for the Champions League. And they want to count on Coutinho for that, with the Brazilian now back in training. 

The Brazilian midfielder, on loan from Barcelona, was one of the players who took part in Flick's session on Wednesday as Bayern get ready for the final league game of the season, against Wolfsburg. Coutinho has been out since April, when he underwent surgery on an ankle injury. 

With the need for minutes ahead of the return of the German cup final and the Champions League in August, and the fact Bayern are already champions, it cannot be ruled out that Coutinho features this weekend. The cup final will be played on July 4, against Bayer Leverkusen.  

CONTRACT 

Remember that Coutinho's contract with Bayern ends on June 30, but they have asked Barça to extend it until August so they can have him available for the cup final and the Champions League. 

The German newspaper Bild revealed that the Bavarians want the formal Liverpool man and Perisic until the end of the current campaign. They are now waiting on the response from Barcelona and Inter Milan, who own both players.
