Liverpool talisman Philippe Coutinho has been told to consider leaving Anfield – by Brazil team-mate Dani Alves.

Coutinho has become a target for several leading European clubs this summer after another impressive season for the Reds, with Paris Saint-Germain said to be leading the race.

Liverpool, though, are determined to hold on to the 23-year-old, who has seen his stock rise considerably since arriving from Inter Milan in January 2013.

And Alves, who is leaving Barcelona to join Juventus, believes Coutinho is capable of playing for the Spanish champions.

“Football is about living the moment,” he told Yahoo Esportes. “Liverpool have history but you should consider playing for top UCL sides.

“He has the quality to play for Barcelona.”

Alves and Coutinho are both with the Brazil squad for the Copa America, with the Selecao beginning their campaign Ecuador in the early hours of Sunday morning in Pasadena.

Earlier this week, Coutinho was reportedly quoted as admitting he misses winning trophies.

“I miss winning cups,” he said. “Copa America is another opportunity for me, because every player dreams of winning cups.”
