Could he be on his way to Spain?
Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has admitted he is ‘happy’ to be linked with FC Barcelona.
Coutinho spoke to ESPN Brasil before Liverpool’s 4-0 win away at West Ham on Sunday, where he scored 2 playing in a deeper ‘no.8 role’ discussed by Jurgen Klopp earlier in the week.
He is quoted telling them that he is happy that “a great club has an interest.”
“Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world, so far, nothing has come to me, because if anything comes, it comes to my manager, what I have to do is focus on the pitch,” Coutinho said.

“I’m happy to know that a great club has an interest, it’s cool, for the recognition of their work, what I have to do is keep working hard
“Liverpool is a great club and we have to put Liverpool back in the Champions League.”
Coutinho signed a new five-year deal back in January and Jurgen Klopp has insisted that the owners will do everything they can to keep their star player this summer.
