Coutinho ideal player for Barcelona – Tite

Brazil coach Tite has no doubts Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho would be a star with Barcelona.

Despite signing a new deal with Liverpool earlier this year, the biggest in the club’s history, Coutinho continues to be linked with a summer move to Barca.

And Tite admits he can see Coutinho thriving at the Nou Camp.

He told Sport: “I’m always talking hypothetically, make that clear. There is Sergio (Busquets) and the two creators, what in Italy they denominate ‘mezzalas’ that are (Ivan). Rakitic and (Andres) Iniesta, they are the two thinkers of the team.

“Coutinho can play in that role. He is an ideal player for Barca.”
