That’s according to Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
Coutinho handed in a transfer request this summer in hope of forcing through his dream move to the Nou Camp.
Barca made three bids for the Brazil international but Liverpool stood firm and kept hold of their key man.
However, former Nou Camp ace Fabregas has backed Coutinho to join Barca.
When asked about the Liverpool talisman, Fabregas told Catalan TV Station TV3: “I think he’s a great player.
“I see Barca’s style, the truth is that it has the level... From where I see it, he is more comfortable inside, but the good thing about this player is that he can play in various positions.
“Being versatile is also important.”

Coutinho has impressed for Liverpool this season despite not getting his move to Barca in the summer.
The playmaker netted a hat-trick for the Reds last night in their 7-0 rout against Spartak Moscow in the Champions League.
Coutinho now has nine goals and six assists in all competitions under Jurgen Klopp this time out.
Liverpool are back in action on Sunday when the Reds host Everton in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.
