Coutinho attempted to force through a move without success, though Barca is reportedly set to reignite its interest during the January window.

However, the 25-year-old said is happy playing in the Premier League at Liverpool.

"I'm playing in one of the biggest leagues in the world," said Coutinho, who has scored four goals in all competitions for Jurgen Klopp's side.

"I'm always happy. But now it's important to concentrate on the national team.

"At the moment I am very happy with my life."

Coutinho is set to return to action when Brazil faces England in an international friendly at Wembley on Tuesday.
