Barcelona offer Everton the chance to sign Philippe Coutinho on loan until the end of the 2020-21 campaign, according to a report.

Barcelona have reportedly offered Everton the chance to sign Brazilian attacker Philippe Coutinho on loan until the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

The 28-year-old is currently on loan at Bayern Munich but is not expected to join the Bundesliga champions on a permanent deal, meaning that he is set to return to Camp Nou this summer.

Barca are thought to be keen to offload the South American once again, and the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have all been linked with a move.

However, according to The Transfer Window podcast, the Spanish champions have offered Everton the chance to sign the former Liverpool playmaker on a one-season loan.

Under the proposed agreement, Barca would allegedly pay a third of Coutinho's wages, with the attacker not in the plans of the Catalan giants moving forward.

Coutinho has not been involved for Bayern since the Bundesliga restart due to an ankle injury which required surgery, but he could play a part in their final two league matches of the season.
