Barcelona opened the Spanish league season with a match against Athletic Bilbao on Friday -- watch on fuboTV -- without the services of Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian midfielder was not on the pitch as a starter, nor on the bench as a substitute. Instead, he took in the game from the stands at the San Mames because of a potential transfer deal that could see him temporarily leave Spain for another European country.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich and Barcelona struck an agreement on a loan for Coutinho after he refused to be part of a potential Neymar swap deal with PSG. The team shortly confirmed the report before kickoff.
"I can confirm that there's an agreement in principle in the case of Coutinho's loan [to Bayern]," Barcelona director Guillermo Amor said.
