The Brazilian full-back has backed his compatriot to leave Anfield and play for a club that can offer him Champions League football

Dani Alves has urged Philippe Coutinho to leave Liverpool and join a top Champions League team, as well as claiming he would fit at Barcelona.

Coutinho was once again the stand out player for the Reds this campaign, and cleared up at the end-of-season awards ceremony for a second consecutive year.

However, the team finished the season in eighth position meaning they will not be be playing any Champions Legue football, something which Alves believes Coutinho should be offered. 

"Football is about living the moment," Alves told Yahoo Esportes.

"Liverpool have history but you should consider playing for top Champions League sides. He has the quality to play for Barcelona."

Will a big club come knocking for the Brazilian this summer? And will Jurgen Klopp be willing to let him go?
