#3 Bayern Munich
German champions Bayern Munich are also in need of a creative enforcer this season. The Bavarians decided against making James Rodriguez’s loan deal permanent and hence a suitable replacement in that area is a necessity.
Bayern are ready to spend this summer, albeit more on the wing department following the departures of Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben. Coutinho could be a luxury difficult to afford, but a big plus nonetheless.
From his point of view, the 27-year-old can still keep his hopes of winning a Champions League medal intact at the Allianz Arena.
A suitable player-plus-cash deal including David Alaba could pave the way for Coutinho to come to Munich. However, a large part of the deal depends on how much cash Bayern offer and whether Barcelona will be interested in taking Alaba.
