The attacking midfielder has caught the attention of teams such as Barcelona and PSG. He has been a major influence at Anfield. This season in the Premier League, he has scored 7 goals in 14 appearances and has managed 6 assists. Jurgen Klopp is determined to keep the Brazillian at Anfield but Liverpool might be tempted to sell him especially after spending £75 million on Dutch defender Van Dijk.

Coutinho has played a crucial role in Klopp’s plans. His technique combined with his natural talent has made him unstoppable. Klopp on multiple occasions has asked the midfielder to stay back at Anfield.

In a recent conversation with his Coutinho, he told him,“Stay here, and they will end up building a statue in your honour, Go somewhere else, to Barcelona, to Bayern Munich, to Real Madrid, and you will be just another player. Here you can be something more.”

Rumour has it that Coutinho is all set for a Barcelona transfer this January. Although Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has refused to confirm this, Spanish sports daily Mundo Deportivo has reported that he has started searching for a house in Barcelona. It is believed that Barcelona are willing to pay £124 million for him.
