Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona have earmarked Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho as their number one transfer target next summer. The Catalan club are plotting to form a deadly attack force around Neymar and Coutinho, who have been impressive at the international level for Brazil this year.
According to Spanish publication SPORT, the 23-year-old has what it takes to fit into Barca’s style of play, especially due to the presence of his childhood friend Neymar, who recently committed his future at the club. The newspaper describes the wonderkid as someone who possess the ‘Barcelona DNA’ in his playing style. 
Coutinho could become the second player to move from Anfield to Nou Camp since Luis Suarez’s departure. The Uruguayan joined the La Liga champions in 2014 after missing on the title race by a whisker under former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers.
This season, Coutinho has been on the rise under new manager Jurgen Klopp. He has already scored five goals and provided five assists in 11 league appearances for the Merseyside club.
