Philippe Coutinho believes Liverpool are in a ‘healthy position’ for silverware.
Coutinho is set to complete a £142 million move to Barcelona on Monday after they agreed a fee with the Reds for the midfielder over the weekend.
Barca are set to pay Liverpool in the region of £105m upfront while performance-related clauses would see that figure pushed up further.
Should Coutinho meet all those bonuses during his time in Catalonia, he would become the second most-expensive player in football’s history.
His departure comes as a blow to manager Jurgen Klopp who had built one of Europe’s most formidable forward lines around the Brazilian this season.
But Coutinho is insistent that the Reds are in a healthy position without him.
“They are in a healthy position, with very, very good footballers,” he told the Daily Mail.
‘The signing of Virgil van Dijk is a statement; Mo Salah is a wonderful footballer.
“I look forward to watching them win trophies and to celebrating their success.
“I would not have left for any other club, but Barcelona is something different. It is a dream, a place of magic for me.
“When I was young I would watch Ronaldinho play, I would watch him give magic. Now they have Messi doing the same.
“When I played there (the Nou Camp) for Espanyol against Barcelona, I saw the magic was for real because Messi scored four goals!
“He does things to make your jaw drop wide open. And then there is Suarez, Iniesta, Paulinho…”
