It was assumed that the former Liverpool man would be moving on to pastures new this summer in what is expected to be a mass clearout at the Nou Camp.
Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, Leicester and Newcastle have all been linked with his signature.
But Ronald Koeman could yet make use of Coutinho and find a place for him in his first team plans with so many senior players seemingly heading for the exit.
With the Lionel Messi transfer saga engulfing the club, Barcelona are set for a summer of turmoil and where the pieces lay at the end, including Coutinho, still very much remains to be seen.
