Coutinho would bring a lot to Barca – Suarez

  

   Barcelona forward, Luis Suarez is hopeful that his former Liverpool teammate, Philippe Coutinho will join him at the Nou Camp, where he would ‘bring a lot’ of quality.

    Both players played together at Anfield over an 18-month period before the Suarez joined the Blaugrana in the summer of 2014. “I’m good friends with Coutinho and he is ambitious, so obviously he would be excited at the prospect (of joining Barcelona),” Suarez told an interview with Diario Sport.

   During the summer transfer, all efforts to bring Coutinho to Barca proved abortive as Liverpool rejected all offers from the Catalonian club.  “Any player would want to join this club and it was difficult for him to come in the summer but he is a true professional and (because the move did not happen) he has worked hard,” the Uruguay striker continued.

   “He has quality both as a footballer and as a person, despite attempting to leave Liverpool he’s continue to help them in a professional manner. “He would bring a lot to Barca, I have played with him and know that he is a top level player.”
