Liverpool star has revealed the details behind his collapsed transfer to Barcelona, admitting he and his family were excited about the move to Camp Nou.
The Brazil international was marked by the Catalan club as a replacement for Neymar following his countryman's record-breaking $222m switch to Paris Saint-German
last month.
Despite Coutinho telling Liverpool he wanted to go ahead and leave for Laliga before handing in an official transfer request in view of forcing a move through,
The Reds refused to sell.
Now, having made his Premier League return to Jurgen Klopp's side in the club's 1-1 draw at home to Burnley on Saturday,
Coutinho insists he is solely focused on giving his best to the Merseyside club.
