Vickery: Very, very hard for Coutinho to turn down Barcelona
South American football expert Tim Vickery believes Liverpool鈥檚 Phillipe Coutinho would find it 鈥渧ery, very hard to turn down鈥 a move to Barcelona.
The 25-year-old has been strongly linked with the Catalan club as a replacement for Neymar should he leave for Paris Saint-Germain.
Vickery suggests Barcelona鈥檚 affinity with hugely successful Brazilian players could be a factor in Coutinho鈥檚 decision-making process.
Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Ronaldo all won the Ballon d鈥橭r whilst playing at the Nou Camp.
鈥淪o many of these Brazilians starred with Barcelona. There will be a fair few Liverpool fans sweating on Neymar鈥檚 decision鈥, he added.
