Jamie Carragher has backed a potential Philippe Coutinho to Liverpool transfer to happen this summer
| ||||||
Coutinho opted to join Barcelona back in January 2018, with the Reds sealing a record move of a £142million transfer fee for the Brazilian.
Since his Liverpool exit, the 27-year-old has struggled to find his best form in the settings of the La Liga champions as many had expected him to be a huge prospect given how well he performed in the Premier League.
Liverpool now appears the only club best fashioned for Coutinho to move this summer with PSG links cooled in recent days,.
And former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believe the former Red star will be a huge hit again at his old club, digging at critics arising from the Brazilian's decision to quit Anfield last year.
"I wouldn't say I would be actively going to get him, but if there was a possibility of bringing Coutinho back for decent money, and Barca wanted to cut their losses a little bit because it hasn't worked out, then I'd do that," Carragher told the Liverpool Echo.
"Would he be welcomed back? I'm not sure. But he should be. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be.
"I know he got a little bit of stick when he came back (with Barcelona for the Champions League semi-final earlier this month) because he wanted to move.
"But Alonso wanted to move to Real Madrid, Suarez wanted to move to Barcelona, and we still loved them when they went.
"Sometimes we pick and choose who we love when they leave. Nobody forced any player to go to Real Madrid or Barcelona, Mascherano is another one.
"Suarez only got stick when he came back because of his antics in the first game (against Liverpool), if he hadn't done that then he'd be adored when he came back. What's the difference between him and Coutinho?"

It would be a good business for Liverpool FC to bring Coutinho back.Iam a Liverpool fan and I wish I can watch him one more time in
