Philippe Coutinho told he has three options after making transfer contact with Liverpool

The three options on the table for Philippe Coutinho this summer have finally been outlined by Barcelona, according to reports.

Spanish publication Sport claims Barcelona will allow Coutinho to complete a permanent transfer away from the Camp Nou if they can recoup £80million.

The report adds that due to the potentially huge financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, the Catalan giants may be willing to drop this figure to as little as £65m.

The second option reportedly available to Coutinho is he's allowed to remain on loan at Bayern Munich for another season.

The German giants are currently paying the Brazilian's wages in full after splashing out £8million to temporarily sign the midfielder in the first place.

But whether Bayern Munich are prepared to put up further money to pay for a player that hasn't overly impressed in the Bundesliga, remains to be seen.

The final option available to Coutinho is he's allowed to go out on loan to another club, however unlike Bayern, this side will be obliged to put up the cash and make the deal permanent at the end of the season.

Everton are one club who fit this bill; they're keen to land the Brazilian, and are willing to put up the money Barcelona want for him.

The reported options available to Coutinho have emerged amid reports the 27-year-old phoned his former club Liverpool to discuss a return.

It is claimed that while there is no bad blood between the Brazilian and the Reds, Jurgen Klopp and co. have no plans to bring him back to Anfield.
