Jurgen Klopp insists he is not fazed by Barcelona’s pursuit of Philippe Coutinho.
The Liverpool playmaker has emerged as a primary target for the current Spanish champions as they plan a summer overhaul in the transfer market.
Coutinho signed a record-breaking new five year contract in February and dismissed suggestions that he could be in line for a move to the Nou Camp.
But reports in Catalonia continue to link the Brazil international with Barca.
Klopp, however, is unconcerned by the interest and believes that Coutinho is happy at Anfield.
He said: “Actually, I think it’s positive when there is interest.
“It shows it’s good (to have the player). I am not concerned because I think Phil fits really well and comfortably here.
“He had a difficult time with injury, coming back fighting for shape, I would say.
“That’s normal. In the last three games, you can see immediately, when he is in a little bit of shape, how big the difference is he can have in a game.
“That’s wonderful for us. I am not concerned, actually, because we give the boys enough perspective that they really want to be part of this for the next few years.”
