Barcelona news: Philippe Coutinho signed for Barca from Liverpool for £142m (Image: GETTY)
Philippe Coutinho 'doesn't fit' at Barcelona says Moreno
“I don’t think there’s a debate now, never mind us, I think in his mind he doesn’t quite fit,” he said.
“He doesn’t seem to be very comfortable with the ball, without the ball, he seems to get in people’s way.
“He’s nowhere near the player he showed to be with Liverpool at one point and that he is for Brazil nowadays.”
Barcelona currently sit atop of La Liga and have a five point lead over second placed Atletico Madrid. Their next game is the second leg of the Copa del Rey clash against Sevilla.
"Now, we're going to focus on recovering and start thinking about Wednesday,” Valverde said.
"We have three games this week in six days, with a really important one against Valencia on Saturday.
“But it's true that now what interests us is the Copa."
