Brendan Rodgers spoke to Eveningtimes about when he first brought Phillippe Coutinho to Liverpool:

“He was already strong at 14 years old. He played the Vasco da Gama and Chelsea tried to take him, but the deal had already gone ahead with Inter and so arrived in Milan at the age of 16 years.

Then the Nerazzurri was in trouble from an economic point of view and so it was an opportunity for us to bring him to Liverpool.

It cost 8.5 million pounds, Nobody knew Coutinho, but at 19 years old he flourished in our team.

When there is talent around, the objective remains always to try to take it. And the reason why I brought Lee here at Celtic with me is because it is one of the best in this work, he is the one who found me Coutinho otherwise no one would have heard of him. “
