Philippe Coutinho has informed fans who are concerned about his future that he sees his long-term future at the Merseyside club, according to the Mirror.
The Brazilian midfielder, who is a fan favourite at Anfield, encouraged fans that he will honour his five-year contract.
The playmaker has been linked with a move to Spanish giants Barcelona for a long time, with rumours stating that the Catalan club are willing to make a massive move for him this summer.
Coutinho scored 13 goals in the Premier League this season and provided seven assists on the road to a fourth-placed finish for Liverpool, so you can understand why Jurgen Klopp is so keen to keep him at the club.
Barcelona forward Neymar has called for his club to splash the cash on Coutinho and wants to play alongside him for club and country.
However, the Reds have not received any offers from any club and no contact has been made by Barcelona to the club or his agent.
After Liverpool’s crucial win against Middlesbrough, a game in which Coutinho scored a wonderful free-kick to secure Champions League qualification, Coutinho was quick to end all talks about a move away from Anfield.
“A lot of people have been asking me this, but I don’t understand. I have a contract with Liverpool, a long contract. This speculation is for other people only.” said Coutinho.
