What Neymar Has Been Saying To Philippe Coutinho On Brazil Duty

The Premier League resumes this weekend following the international break, and Liverpool will be glad to see the back of the international scene considering what Neymar has been saying to Philippe Coutinho.

Brazil are set to complete their South America qualifying campaign with a game against Chile, though the five-time World Cup winners have already secured their spot in Russia.

Neymar has inspired Brazil to glory with his heroics. From scoring to creating goals. Though he's spearheading an attack which also consists of Gabriel Jesus as well as Coutinho.

And while they've been working in tandem on the pitch, it appears Neymar is working on convincing Coutinho to join Paris Saint-Germain.

The pair are good buddies, whose time with Brazil dates back a long time ago. They've come up through the different Brazil age groups, eventually playing alongside each other in the full team.

Neymar is now hoping to persuade Coutinho to join him in the French capital at club level.

According to Spanish outlet SPORT: "He [Neymar] is asking him to continue at Liverpool until the end of the season and, after the World Cup, accept the offer that will come from PSG."

The Liverpool ace was subject to several mammoth offers from Barcelona during the summer, though the club refused his sale with Coutinho ultimately remaining at Anfield once the transfer window slammed shut.

He's since reintegrated into Jurgen Klopp's side, scoring three goals in six appearances including a couple of wordies against Leicester City in the cup and Newcastle United in the league.

But, after holding onto his valuable services, Liverpool's resolve will be tested once again. PSG are expected to table an offer in the summer as they attempt to appease Neymar's wishes of signing the player.

Coutinho to PSG? Barcelona have got some hefty competition.
