The Liverpool playmaker has often been linked with a move to Camp Nou, and his fellow Brazilian believes a deal will be done in the near future
Former Barcelona star Rivaldo has backed Philippe Coutinho to join the Spanish champions from Liverpool.
Coutinho has blossomed into one of the Premier League's finest talents since joining from Inter for a reported £8.5milllion in January 2013.
The 24-year-old has often been linked with a move to Camp Nou, despite him being contracted to Liverpool until 2020 and a public insistence from manager Jurgen Klopp that he will not be sold.
