'Everyone wants Coutinho to stay at Liverpool'

The Dutch midfielder spoke to Sky Sports after Liverpool's Champions League play-off win over Hoffenheim on Tuesday. 'Everyone wants him to stay', Wijnaldum said. 'But no one can look in his head or make decisions for him'.

'He has to make the decisions for himself. So, it's difficult to speak about it and give an answer'. Barcelona are determined to sign the 25-year-old, who appeared briefly at Liverpool's Melwood training complex to receive treatment for a back injury on Wednesday morning.

When asked if he had spoken to Coutinho about the potential move, Wijnaldum said: 'He knows what I want, but it's his decision, we'll see what happens'.
