Ronaldinho: Barcelona are watching Coutinho

Ronaldinho has claimed that former club Barcelona are watching Philippe Coutinho, and have 'a lot of admiration' for the Liverpool star.

The Brazilian, who lined out for the Catalan giants between 2003 and 2008 is currently a club ambassador for Barcelona, and believes Luis Enrique's side are interested in the 24-year-old.

Coutinho is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, but is due to return in the next few weeks. He had been in excellent form for Jurgen Klopp's side before his injury, scoring five goals in 13 Premier League games this season.

Ronaldinho has backed him to pick up from where he left off when he returns, and believes he will continue to be monitored by Barcelona if he can keep impressing.
