Coutinho completed his £142million transfer from Liverpool today and signed a contract until summer 2023. The Brazilian will wear the number 14 shirt, with the current holder of the jersey Javier Mascherano on the verge of moving to China.
Coutinho was presented to the world’s media and Barcelona supporters after a medical, which revealed his thigh injury would delay his debut by three weeks.
Neymar left Barcelona in the summer for Paris Saint Germain ending the chance of the two friends playing together at club level.
But speaking to reporters at the Nou Camp, Coutinho revealed Neymar only had good things to say about Barcelona when they spoke to each other and said he also received advice from ex-Liverpool team-mate Luis Suarez.
He said: ”I spoke to Neymar and he has nothing but good things to say about the team, the city and the dressing room.
“I also spoke to Luis Suarez and also Paulinho, and they also had good things to say.
"He [Suarez] has been house hunting for me. He is a good friend.
“We had good period together in Premier League. "It’s an honour to play with him again.
