The Brazilian striker wants his compatriot Coutinho to continue to play for Liverpool, while Barcelona takes a serious interest in the midfielder.

"I prefer not to think about the possible departure of Philippe, because it will be terrible," - began Firmino.

"He is not only a great player, but also a wonderful friend".

"The fact that big teams are interested in Coutinho, it's quite normal. As for me, I'm completely focused on the team ".

"This season is special, because next summer will be the World Cup. My childhood dream is to play it, but for that I have to spend my best year in Liverpool, "Roberto summed up.

Earlier it was reported that the "reds" refused to sell Barcelona to Coutinho.
