Neymar says Philippe Coutinho would fit right in at Barcelona…

Liverpool had better hope that Barcelona don’t listen to Neymar’s transfer recommendations, otherwise they could soon lose another star player to La Liga.

The Barca forward has piled praise on his friend and international colleague Philippe Coutinho, claiming the playmaker has all the attributes to be a hit at the Nou Camp.

“I see many Brazilian players with quality today,” said Neymar.

“But one that I like and I think I could play here is Coutinho. He has the style of Barcelona.”

After being named in the PFA Team of the Year last season, Coutinho committed to a new five-year contract at Anfield.

But if Liverpool fail to reach the Champions League again this year, then club officials will know his head could be turned – especially if Barcelona express firm interest.
