Barcelona outcast Philippe Coutinho would rather move back to the Premier League than stay at Camp Nou for another season, according to a report.

The former Liverpool man spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Bayern Munich - where he contributed two goals and one assists in their 8-2 thrashing of his parent club in the Champions League quarter finals.

However, the Bavarian powerhouses decided against signing Coutinho on a permanent basis, and the Brazilian attacker is still a Barcelona player heading into the new season.

Nevertheless, Marca reports that Coutinho is undecided on his future at Camp Nou, and the 28-year-old would prefer to return to the Premier League.

Coutinho has supposedly attracted interest from a number of top-flight English clubs in recent months, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United among the sides linked with a swoop for the attacker.

Barca are believed to be holding out for a fee of €80m (£71.9m) for Coutinho, though, and as a result a loan deal would be more likely than an outright sale this summer.
