"Coutinho regrets leaving for Barcelona"

As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason why any elite player wouldn't want to be playing for Liverpool. We have such a strong squad with a strong back office and a manager who I think is one of the greatest managers in world football" said Tom Werner to the "Liverpool Echo".

The Chairman believes that Liverpool's progress in recent years warranties attention and attraction from players, reiteranting: “I don't think there is going to be any players who if they were invited to play for Liverpool, wouldn't jump at the opportunity” 

Aditionally, the chairman also spoke about Liverpool's relationship with Coutinho, who was sold to Barcelona for 142 million pounds: “I have only good things to say about Philippe. But I think he left Liverpool because he wanted to play for one of the two big Spanish clubs".

"We tried to convince him that we had the club moving in the right direction and that he could experience big Champions League occasions by staying at Liverpool. I think he probably regrets his decision” stated Werner, who's seen his team reach two consecuitve Champions League finals since his departure.
