Struggling to replace wingers Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben, Bayern Munich has turned to Philippe Coutinho.

Axar.az reports citing Goal.com Bayern players Joshua Kimmich and Robert Lewandowski had been calling for high-profile reinforcements, with the latter questioning the quality of Bayern's substitutes after the team's German Super Cup loss in Dortmund.

The Bavarian club agreed to pay his wages and a fee of 8.5 million euros ($9.4 million) to Barcelona for the season.

"The agreement also sees an option to buy for Bayern fixed at 120 million euros ($133 million)," Barcelona said.
