The future of Philippe Coutinho looks in doubt as the midfielder looks set to leave Barcelona.

Coutinho shone in his previous spell in the Premier League with Liverpool, scoring 54 goals and providing 45 assists in 201 appearances in Red, form that earned him a big money move to Catalan giants Barcelona in January 2018.

Reports have suggested that the Spanish side could be willing to let 27-year-old leave the club, with a two-year loan deal being proposed as a potential option..

Arsenal are one of the clubs being linked with an interest in Coutinho, with reports even suggesting that club officials seeing the game between the Barcelona and the Gunners on Sunday as the perfect chance to meet and discuss a possible transfer.

However fans of his previous club Liverpool have made their feelings known on the matter.

Coutinho was a popular figure at Anfield and supporters have urged their club to stop the Gunners from making a move by convincing the Brazilian to return to Merseyside.

Here's how the Liverpool fans reacted to talk of Philippe Coutinho's return to the Premier League.
