Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has insisted Philippe Coutinho will stay at Barcelona next season.
The Brazilian has scored 20 goals and provided 11 assists in 68 appearances at the Nou Camp following his £145million move from Liverpool in January 2018.
The Catalan giants' plan for him to replace Andres Iniesta has failed and Coutinho is said to have a number of admirers after his impressive time in the Premier League, with Manchester United among the clubs interested in him.
