CAIRO -13 August 2017: English pundit, Jamie Carragher believes that Philippe Coutinho movement to Barcelona would cause a massive riot inside the club, the Former Liverpool defender said on Friday.

“I don't see any way the club would let Coutinho go. I said there'd be a riot if he went and I still stand by that.” Carragher spoke to skysports after Premier League opening game.

Philippe Coutinho, Liverpool midfielder, has handed a request to leave the club to join FC Barcelona on Friday but the club rejected it. They insisted on keeping the player on their squad.

Carragher believes that Liverpool would allow Coutinho move if Barcelona asked to sign the player earlier. He said, “If this bid had come in at the end of May, someone offered over £100m and you had potential targets lined up, you could understand it, But Liverpool have got no time to replace him. They can't get players in at the moment anyway and they've got a lot of money to spend.”

Coutinho, 25-years-old, joined Liverpool in 2013 from Inter Milan, he is expected to be Neymar’s replacement.
