Jurgen Klopp Reveals What He Told Philippe Coutinho Ahead of Brazilian's Bayern Munich Move

Jurgen Klopp has revealed he told Philippe Coutinho to make the move to Bayern Munich during the summer, insisting it would be a 'good fit' for the Brazilian.

Coutinho's future was one of constant speculation over the transfer window, with Barcelona desperate to flog off the forward after a less-than inspiring 18 months in Catalunya - which yielded just 21 goals.

Liverpool had been linked with a sensational return for the 27-year-old, although the German tactician distanced himself from these rumours on many occasions throughout the summer.
