# Liverpool: Philippe Coutinho’s plea to Jurgen Klopp has got fans desperate for his signature

**It seems Philippe Coutinho is after a move back to Merseyside as he continues to be linked with Premier League clubs amid his inevitable Barcelona departure.**

According to Sunday World’s Kevin Palmer (relayed via [@LFCTransferRoom](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1271929615674740739)), the Brazilian has personally spoken with Jurgen Klopp about facilitating a move back to Liverpool. The playmaker is also reportedly willing to take a pay cut in order to make the transfer happen.

A number of teams are chasing Coutinho’s signature, including [heavily linked](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1286085/Chelsea-Newcastle-Philippe-Coutinho-transfer-Bayern-Munich) Newcastle and Chelsea. It seems the former Red star has options in abundance, but his heart looks set on a return to Anfield to pick up where he left off.

Coutinho left the club in 2018 and has hit a slump ever since. A move to the Premier League winners-elect could turn his career completely on its head. As it stands, he boasts 95 career goals and 71 assists, but that could climb much higher in a winning side like Liverpool (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/philippe-coutinho/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/80444)).

Liverpools fans are just as in favour of bringing the Brazilian home as he reportedly is. One supporter has commented ‘I’m on my knees’ whilst another has said ‘Klopp please, I want to see him back home’.

Their feelings are understandable, given he scored [54 goals and provided 45 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/philippe-coutinho/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/80444) in his original spell at Anfield…
