The Liverpool man wants to move to Barcelona

He scored for Brazil against Ecuador on Thursday

Brazil star Neymar said Philippe Coutinho is "sad" after the Liverpool player scored in his country's 2-0 win over Ecuador. 

Coutinho came off the bench to make his comeback having not yet featured for his club this season amid Barcelona's ongoing interest. 

Liverpool have rejected three offers from Barça, despite Coutinho handing in a transfer request. 

“I'm very happy because [Coutinho] scored a goal and at this moment he is filled with great sadness,” Neymar said after the Brazil game. 

“He really helped us in the victory. He is a great player, who is very important to us.”

Barça have until the end of Friday to close a deal for Coutinho and will make a fourth offer, but Liverpool's stance is unlikely to change.
