Couthinho - Ernesto Valverde finally speak about the issue of his team who want to bring in Philippe Coutinho. According to Valverde himself was quite happy with the composition of the existing squad in Barcelona. Yet he refused to call himself uninterested in Coutinho.

"Coutinho is playing for other teams," Valverde said as quoted by ESPN.
"He is a very good player, very clear but I am very happy with the players we have today, we do not know what will happen in the future.
"I do not want to say anything about Coutinho, he is not our player, he plays for other teams so let's respect the team that has Coutinho right now and also respect the player.
Philippe Coutinho was not played by Jurgen Klopp when Liverpool beat Burnley at Turf Moor on Monday (1/1). This also makes the rumors of hengkang from Liverpool getting tighter. Barcelona became the front-runner with some news that the Blaugrana has set aside about 130 million pounds for the Brazilian.
