As The Sun reported (h/t Independent’s Jack de Menezes), Ronaldinho spoke about compatriot Coutinho and his strong play in 2016, admitting Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the former Inter Milan man:

Liverpool will want to keep him, they have built the team around him.

Ronaldinho has been an official ambassador for Barcelona since earlier this year after spending the best years of his impressive career with the Catalans.
The Blaugrana are one of several clubs linked with a move for Coutinho from time to time, with Paris Saint-Germain also frequently mentioned as a possible destination, via the Daily Express (h/t ESPN FC’s Jonathan Johnson).
