Liverpool Coach: Barcelona target won't leave
Reports towards the end of the transfer window had the Brazilian considering a move to Barcelona. This, not so coincidentally, came at the time when the 24-year-old was negotiating a new deal with the Reds, which he signed.
"I am not concerned because I think Phil fits really well here and is comfortable here," Klopp told Four Four Two before the Reds travelled to face West Brom today, who they beat 1-0 thanks to a Roberto Firmino goal.
"I think it is actually positive when there is interest. It shows it's good.
"Phil had a difficult time with injury, coming back fighting for his shape, and I would say that's normal.
"In the last three games, you can see immediately, when he is in a little bit of shape, how big the difference is he can have in a game.
Coutinho was linked to a move to the Nou Camp in exchange for Ivan Rakitic.
"But I am not concerned [about Barcelona] actually, because we give the boys enough perspective that they really want to be part of this for the next few years."
