Liverpool must move quickly to replace Philippe Coutinho, former Reds striker John Aldridge has warned.
Coutinho headed to Barcelona on Saturday night after Liverpool accepted a British record bid, worth up to £142million, from the Catalan club.
The 25-year-old Brazil international, who arrived at Liverpool from Inter Milan for £8.5million in January 2013, scored 54 times for the Anfield side.
'I am not surprised but disappointed he [Coutinho] is leaving because he is a fantastic player to watch,' Aldridge told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.
