Liverpool attacker Philippe Coutinho would be the ideal signing for Barcelona, according to former Brazil star Ronaldinho.

Former Barcelona attacker Ronaldinho has expressed his belief that the Catalan outfit should sign Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho.

Coutinho, 22, scored eight times for Liverpool during the 2014-15 campaign and his performances earned him a spot in the PFA Team of the Year.

Ronaldinho, who won two league titles and a Champions League during his time at the Camp Nou, has picked out his fellow Brazilian as an ideal signing for Luis Enrique's team.

"He has had a fantastic season," Ronaldinho told the Daily Mail. "He has been one of the best midfield players in Europe. When you realise that he has been playing in a team that has not been performing well, that is an even bigger achievement.

"I can't speak for him and I can't speak for Barcelona, but I know what they look for in a player and he has all those qualities.

"After all those years at the club, Xavi has left and [Andres] Iniesta is now in his 30s - they will need to address that. That is why I think Barcelona and Coutinho would be the perfect fit."

Coutinho has previously played in La Liga during a loan spell with Espanyol in 2012.
