Liverpool: Ronaldinho backs Coutinho to join Barcelona
- Kaustubh Pandey
Coutinho, 25, was the subject of multiple failed bids from Barcelona this past summer and somehow stayed at Liverpool, despite substantial interest from Nou Camp based outfit.
It is said that Barcelona will renew their interest in the Brazilian superstar in the winter transfer window and Ronaldinho recently told Sky Sports that the Liverpool star will be a perfect fit for Ernesto Valverde’s men, who currently sit atop the La Liga standings.
Ronaldinho said: "I would be very happy to see such a talented player wear the shirt I wore for so many years.
"I believe the way he plays will perfectly suit Barcelona and would be delighted to see a player of such quality wear the shirt.
"I like the way Coutinho plays and the type of football he brings. Those types of qualities will hopefully help Brazil win the next World Cup."
