Coutinho undergoes Barcelona medical ahead of 160 million Euro transfer

Philippe Coutinho underwent a medical in Barcelona ahead of the completion of his transfer deal from Liverpool.

The Brazil star arrived in Spain on Saturday after the clubs agreed a reported fee of 160 million Euros– a record purchase for the La Liga leaders and the most expensive deal in Premier League history, according to media reports.

Coutinho visited the Hospital of Barcelona early on Monday to complete the first part of his medical and final checks at Camp Nou later.

He will then meet some of his new team-mates before finally signing a five-and-a-half-year contract, alongside club president Josep Maria Bartomeu. He will then be officially presented to the media and fans.

The 25-year-old may take number 22 if Aleix Vidal moves to Sevilla on loan.

Coutinho could make his debut in Thursday's Copa del Rey clash with Celta Vigo at Camp Nou.
