Coutinho is the next
name on football rumors on Barcelona radar.
Ladbrokes reports that the
Catalan giants have, like the rest of the football world, been stunned by the
Brazilian’s performances for the Anfield club.
And the 24-year-old’s
pivotal role in pushing Liverpool to top the Premier
League table is the latest sign of his talent.
The reports will bring back familiar but unwanted
memories for Reds faithful, who had to see Luis Suarez pack his bags for the
Catalan giants in 2014.
Coutinho spent one and a
half seasons playing alongside the Uruguayan in the famous red shirts, with the
duo coming oh so close to Premier League glory in 2013-14.
Of further concern for
Liverpool supporters is that it’s believed the forward’s friendship with
international team-mate Neymar may also boost Barca’s chances too.
And it’s not just
domestically where the former Inter Milan star has shone, hitting a wondrous
effort for Brazil in their World Cup qualifier against rivals Argentina last
night.
Lionel Messi was left
watching on as Coutinho’s 25-yard belter hit the net, and he’ll probably head
back to Barca with some very complimentary comments.
In short, Coutinho is
probably wanted by all three of Nou Camp’s magical MSN trio.
The former Vasco Da Gama
hero has hit five goals and five assists in just 11 Premier League games this
term, striking up a fearsome relationship with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
And Liverpool fans will
be crossing their fingers and toes that threesome can stick around a little
longer.
