Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho has been linked with Barcelona in the January transfer window.
Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier has suggested on social networking site Twitter that Liverpool should allow Philippe Coutinho to join Barcelona in the January transfer window.
According to BBC Sport, Barcelona are interested in Coutinho from Liverpool this month.
It has been reported that the Reds rejected three offers for the Brazil international attacking midfielder in the summer of 2017.
The Spanish and European giants will reportedly make an offer for the 25-year-old, who can also operate as a winger and has been on the books of Liverpool since January 2013 when he joined from Inter Milan for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £8.5 million and when Brendan Rodgers was in charge of the Reds.
Southampton legend Le Tissier has suggested on Twitter that Liverpool should allow Coutinho to join Barcelona in the January transfer window.
It is a tongue-in-cheek suggestion from the Sky Sports pundit, given what happened with Virgil van Dijk and Liverpool in the summer of 2017.
As reported by BBC Sport, the Netherlands international central defender handed in a transfer request at Southampton last summer as he wanted to join Liverpool.
The move to the Reds failed through then, but the former Celtic star has joined the Merseyside outfit in the January transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £75m.
