The problem for Liverpool is that if Coutinho continues to play at such a high standard, the games current footballing giants will want to make a move for their man, and Spanish newspaper Sport have reported that Liverpool are worried that the 24-year-old will want to move to La Liga champions Barcelona.

The response from fans was fairly mixed, with a selection of supporters worried that they could lose their star man, but some pondered whether or not there is room for another superstar at Barcelona in any case.
One fan, who spent 15 years living in Barcelona and worked as a guide at the Nou Camp, summed up how the Spanish club could wrestle Coutinho away from Anfield: “They will use any trick in the book to get the best players because the best players equal revenue, and that’s what they are about.”
For the moment, Coutinho remains a Liverpool player, and fans will be hoping his good form continues as they continue their charge for the Premier League title.
