Barcelona\u2019s Philippe Coutinho has insisted he does not know what the future holds, amid speculation over a Camp Nou exit.<\/p>\n

Coutinho arrived from Liverpool in a \u20ac142million deal in January 2018, but has struggled to cement his spot in Barca\u2019s starting XI.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old has been linked with a Premier League return via Chelsea and Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are also reportedly interested.<\/p>\n

Asked about his future, Coutinho who is on international duty with Brazil at the Copa America, told reporters: \u201cI have a contract with Barcelona, it was always my will to succeed in this club, but now I am totally concentrated here [with Brazil] and about the future [with Barca] we do not know what will happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany things that come out in the media are simply not true but as for my future we do not know what is going to happen, that is the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coutinho only managed five LaLiga goals in 34 appearances, with 12 of his league appearances coming from the bench.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
