Neymar is working on Liverpool attacker Philippe Coutinho to join him at Barcelona.

Don Balon says Neymar is attempting to use his close relationship with Coutinho to convince him to move to the Nou Camp.

Coutinho recently described Neymar as his idol and the prospect of linking up with his compatriot could prove too good to turn down.

Barcelona are also boosted by Real Madrid's current transfer situation.

Madrid are banned from signing players in January and will instead have to wait until the summer to land their man.

As well as that, the Champions League holders will also have to offload James Rodriguez and Isco who are unhappy under manager Zinedine Zidane.
