Asked by international media about Brazilian international attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho (27), playing for Bayern Munich as a loanee, from Barcelona FC, German giants chairman of executive board Karl-Heinz Rummenigge stated: "He provided some very good performances. Some other ones weren't less thrilling, though. All set aside, he's a first-rate player, and I hope he'll be a factor in our late season". Bundesliga defending champions have reportedly already made up their minds over not buying him back from Blaugrana, and not invest the 120 million euros fee bargained for last summer.
