Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has admitted that the Reds will miss Philippe Coutinho.
Liverpool sold star man Coutinho to Barcelona for a record breaking £145million deal and although the Reds have received a huge amount in exchange for their former star, club legendGerrard has admitted that Jurgen Klopp's side will miss the Brazilian star.
"I'm still digesting it as a Liverpool fan," Gerrard, now an academy coach at the club, told BT Sport.
"I'm not surprised by it. I know Liverpool have done everything they can to keep him and they fought very hard to keep him until the summer.
"But when a kid's got a dream, a South American, that he wants to play for Barcelona and he thinks this is the only opportunity he's going to get, then it's very difficult to stop it.
"There's no doubt about it, Liverpool will miss him. He's a wonderful footballer, a great person and to be fair to him he hasn't downed tools at all. I respect his decision and wish him all the best."
