Transfer: Coutinho chooses between PSG, Bayern Munich with Neymar set for Barcelona


Barcelona playmaker, Philippe Coutinho, would prefer to join Paris Saint-Germain over Bayern Munich, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Both clubs are interested in signing the Brazilian before the transfer window closes on September 2.

Coutinho is currently being touted as a possible makeweight in PSG’s negotiations with Barcelona over the sale of Neymar.

And the 27-year-old would prefer to move to the Ligue 1 champions.

Bayern want to sign Coutinho on a two-year loan deal, but Coutinho doubts the German side would be able to afford his salary.

Also, Coutinho is keen on the idea of linking up his international team-mates in France.

Brazilians Thiago Silva and Marquinhos are both currently plying their trade at the Parc des Princes.

PSG are demanding a deal worth £230million for Neymar, which would include £110m in cash, as well as Coutinho and Nelson Semedo.
