| Neymar wants Philippe Coutinho to join him at Barcelona |
NEYMAR wants Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho to join him at Barcelona.
Neymar believes his Brazil team-mate would fit in at the Nou camp and "has the style of Barcelona".
Coutinho has been Liverpool's best player over the last year with Raheem Sterling's form tailing off before his move to Manchester City, and Daniel Sturridge struggling with injury.
A screamer on the opening day secured three points against Stoke and his sending off against West Ham has left Brendan Rodgers' side void of creativity.
He returned against Norwich yesterday but was unable to inspire the team after missing the defeat to Manchester United.
But the latest comments from Neymar will worry Liverpool fans who have seen their stars players picked off in recent seasons.
Luis Suarez moved to Barcelona in a £75million two years ago, while Sterling joined City for £49m this summer.
And after Liverpool's poor start to the season - they sit 13th after six games - the 23-year-old could be the next big name out the door at Anfield.
Neymar said: “I see many Brazilian players with quality today.
“But one that I like and I think I could play here is Coutinho.
"He has the style of Barcelona.”
And, according to the Daily Mirror, reports in Spain suggest the Catalan side are weighing up a move when their transfer ban is lifted.
