Brazil legend Ronaldo says he would like to see Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho make the transfer to play for Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is a keen admirer of Coutinho following his impressive form in the Premier League and has made it clear that he likes the idea of his fellow countryman making the switch from Anfield to the Bernabeu in the future.
The Reds’ playmaker has been heavily linked with a variety of top European clubs after his world class performances in a Liverpool shirt and will continue to attract interest if he can continue his form.
In an interview with Onda Cero about a player he could sign for his former team, Ronaldo said: “I would like to see Coutinho at Real Madrid, the Liverpool player.”
The 40-year-old retired footballer, who played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona, continued to stick by Madrid as he added that he would choose Cristiano Ronaldo over any of Barca’s front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar in his ‘dream team’.
“It is so difficult to choose just one as the best,” he said. “They are very, very good.
“At the moment I will choose Cristiano [Ronaldo] as he is playing for Real Madrid.
“But we cannot forget how good Messi and Neymar are, and we must respect these players for the entertainment they bring us.”
