Ronaldinho has just named the player he thinks can replace Neymar at Barcelona

Neymar is set to complete record move of 222million euro to Barcelona very soon.

Barcelona are now in the hunt to find his replacement, and so far haven’t reached an agreement with any player.

And Brazilian legend Ronaldinho thinks that Liverpool’s Coutinho would be the perfect man to replace his compatriot at Camp Nou.

“There are only very few players in the world who can replace Neymar – and I have said that I think Coutinho could play for them,” he said.

Ronaldinho won the World Cup in 2002, and moved from PSG to Barcelona one year later. He says Neymar asked for his advice before making decision.

“I have played for both clubs and of course Barcelona are the bigger team historically – but both clubs are now at a level where they are competing for the biggest trophies,” he continued.

“I told him (Neymar) that he had to make the right decision for him. I did not want to advise him either way – I have just told him to follow his heart and hopefully that is what he has done.

“There is no doubt that Barcelona will try and replace Neymar – but the problem they have is that clubs now know their financial position.

“The fee for Neymar has been made public and opposition clubs will know that Barcelona have all that money – they are not going to let their best players go cheaply.

“He is at a level where he could come and fill the gap left by Neymar – but Liverpool will know his worth and after the fees of this summer it will cost Barcelona.”
