‘Coutinho would fit in at Barcelona,’ says Neymar

Neymar says that reported Barcelona target Philippe Coutinho “would totally fit in” with the Spanish club’s style.

Coutinho has long been linked with a move to the La Liga giants after impressing with Liverpool.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp dismissed interest in the player as recently as January, but Coutinho remains a target of the Spanish club’s heading into the summer transfer window.

We personally think that that Liverpool forward has regressed more than most players this season, but international teammate Neymar is undeterred.

The 25-year-old believes the player with six goals and five assists in the Premier League this season – although only one of each in 2017 – would be a perfect fit at the Nou Camp.

“A Premier League player that I would like to have in Barcelona is Coutinho,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I believe Philippe Coutinho is a player that would totally fit in Barcelona.”
