I will always cherish Liverpool - Coutinho issues emotional farewell message
After wrapping up a dream move to Barcelona on Monday, former Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho penned a lengthy message to his old club.
Barcelona's record signing Philippe Coutinho posted an emotional farewell to Liverpool supporters after wrapping up his dream move to Camp Nou on Monday.
Coutinho happy to move, thanks Liverpool
The Catalan giants announced the impending signing of Coutinho on Saturday and the Brazilian underwent his medical and officially signed his contract two days later.
Coutinho's Barca debut will be delayed by a minor thigh injury, the 25-year-old having reportedly paid £10million of his own money to help push through the protracted transfer.
And having confirmed his switch to the LaLiga leaders, Coutinho wrote a lengthy goodbye to Liverpool, thanking the club's fans, staff and manager Jurgen Klopp, via his official Instagram account.
"Since the moment I arrived in Liverpool, me and my family have been made to feel so welcome and have made so many friends," Coutinho began.
"On the pitch and off the pitch, we have experienced the beauty of this club and its fans. In turn, I hope I have delivered memories and moments that have brought happiness to the Liverpool supporters.
"Moving to Liverpool, I knew the club's greatness and history but what I did learn during my time was the unique heart and soul of the place. It has its own personality and character."
