However, strong speculation surfaced, claiming that Manchester United are interested in a summer move, while Liverpool has also been linked to a shock attempt to sign him again after his efforts to adapt to life in Nou camp.

Stamford Bridge was mentioned as a possible destination for the former man from Inter Milan, Chelsea preparing to replace Eden Hazard should he settle in Madrid PSG joins the Blues as a favorite.

However, Coutinho apparently poured cold water on all chances of a return to the Premier League in his most recent interview.

"My head is exclusively in Barcelona. Returning to England now does not fit my plans, "he told the Sunday Mirror.

"It's my second season here. I've won titles but I'm still an ambitious and demanding player. So, I want more and more.

"But I'm happy, I wanted to play in Spain and I'm in the best club in Spain."
