Philippe Coutinho happy to work under Jurgen Klopp

Philippe Coutinho has underlined his happiness at Liverpool and insisted once again he has no intention of leaving the club this summer.

The Brazilian playmaker has been linked with a move to Barcelona in recent weeks, though it seems unlikely the La Liga champions would spend £40million on a player who would not command a regular first-team place.

Liverpool have repeatedly insisted that Coutinho is not for sale, and the Brazilian has now responded in kind, saying that he does not want to leave.

“I am grateful for everything Liverpool has done for me,” Coutinho said.

“Am I happy there working under Klopp? It’s clear, he’s great.”

Liverpool were give more good Coutinho news after Brazil were knocked out of the Copa America group stage by Peru on Sunday night.

That means that Coutinho can now take a full part in the club’s pre season, rather than arriving late following the end of the tournament.
