The Brazilian winger departed Anfield in 2018 as his exit incensed some section of the Anfield faithful.
But has failed to glitter at the Camp Nou and a return to his former side was said to be on the cards, Klopp who tried his possible best to convince him of not leaving the Premier League has debunked claims of linking the player back to Liverpool
"In general, Phil Coutinho helps each team in the world, still – 100 per cent," Klopp told ESPN FC. "It's not about that.
"I like Phil, I think he's a fantastic footballer and all that stuff, but it would be a big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big-money signing and it's not our year for that.
"It's just not possible. As I said, having him would make each team better – us included – but I really hope that he finds his luck at Barcelona.
"Or maybe he found it there. We have contact, but not that close contact that I know exactly how he is doing, but the rest is only newspaper talk and stuff like that.
"If everything was true what newspapers write about me – wow! If it's similar to what they write about me, I would say he's completely happy at Barcelona and wants to sign a new six-year contract or whatever."
In twenty-two LaLiga starts last term, Coutinho recorded just five goals for the Blaugrana, resulting in fans discontent over his performances.
