Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that Barcelona overpaid for the transfer of the plumper Philippe Coutinho.

In the January transfer window, the Brazilian midfielder moved from Liverpool to the "blue-garnet" camp for 160 million euros.

According to the legendary Bek of the Merseyside Jamie Carragher, Coutinho should not be so expensive, while the "red" still worth keeping it until the end of the season.

"If the best player leaves the team, then the transfer window can not be called successful," - began Carragher.

"When Coutinho stayed last summer, every fan was sure that after a year he would leave the team, so I wanted to enjoy his game for the next 12 months".

"It's a shame to lose Philippe in the middle of the season, but for such a price all is not so bad ... Coutinho does not cost $ 160 million, he is not so good".

"Nevertheless, it would be better to sell it for 20-30 million cheaper than next summer. I would like him to finish the season, because ahead of Liverpool fight in the Champions League ", - told Jamie.

Recall that in the debut match for Barcelona against Alavesa Coutinho became the worst player of "blue garnet".
