Liverpool star: Barca move 'complicated'

Philippe Coutinho claims that a move to Barcelona would be “complicated”.

The Brazilian international was speaking from the Selecao’s camp, and has been linked to the Blaugrana for a long time.

He’s scored 14 goals and made seven assists in all competitions, and could be the first star to join from Anfield since Luis Suarez.

“Talking about this is complicated,” he said (via the Independent) ahead of Brazil’s friendly with Australia “I have a contract with my club and it’s a long one.

“So my focus is on the present and the national team. My focus is here.”

​Barcelona see the Brazilian international as a great addition to the MSN of Messi, Suarez and Neymar, and potentially someone to play behind them, seeing as they appreciate him for his versatility.

Coutinho is a strong addition to any team, and recently signed a five-year extension with the Anfield side, one that doesn’t include a release clause.
