“Liverpool will want to keep him, they have built the team around him.
“But when you play at that level then there is always interest.”
Another former Barcelona superstar claims about Coutinho in the recent past.
Xavi voiced: “When you play at the level he is there is always going to be talk, but for now he needs to ignore all that and stay focused, because I think Liverpool have a real chance this season.,"
“There are not many players that can improve Barcelona, but if you are asking me if he is one of them, on this form, I think he is. Technically he is very good. He would suit Barcelona's philosophy well.”
