Rivaldo has tipped Liverpool playmaker Philppe Coutinho to join Barcelona.
Coutinho continues to be linked with a move to the Nou Camp despite the Reds’ current lack of desire and pressure to consider selling their talisman.
Paris Saint-Germain are also continuing to pursue the 24-year-old despite seeing an audacious £23 million bid rejected by Anfield chiefs last summer.
But Barca legend Rivaldo believes that Coutinho and his former club would be a perfect fit.
“In my opinion, he’s a great player and a player who knows Neymar well. I think they are both friends – players who stand out,” he told Sky Sports.
“I think that this transfer might happen because Barcelona is always going to attract the best, isn’t it?
“He is one of the players who stands out and I believe that this transfer – if he goes to Barcelona – would be a good thing for Barcelona for sure.
“He is a player who would definitely help Barcelona. Of course, Barcelona is a big club, but with a player like him, it would definitely be a big help.”
