Atletico Madrid left back Felipe Luis has encouraged his Brazilian team mate Philippe Coutinho to join him at the Spanish club.

The Liverpool playmaker has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent days with both Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona reportedly preparing bids for the 23 year old, but after his impressive performances for Brazil in the Copa America, Felipe believes that Champions League finalists Atletico should also consider the Reds star as a potential option to bolster their attack. He is quoted by Spanish newspaper AS as saying:

“Coutinho asked me how it feels to play in a Champions League final. He’d be welcomed at Atletico, he has the quality. Coutinho is amazing and can make the difference. We discussed that he can play for top Champions League sides.”

The Brazilian midfielder scored a hat trick in Brazil’s second group game of the Copa America against Haiti in a 7-1 win. A big improvement on Brazil’s goalless draw against Ecuador in their first match of the tournament. Coutinho will expect to start the next game against Peru on Monday in Massachusetts. A match which will decide who will top Group B, and go into the knockout stages in a strong position.
