The Uruguayan striker was so desperate to see Coutinho at Camp Nou, he practically bought him a house in the city of Barcelona.
Coutinho made the interesting claim in an interview for Daily Mail, revealing that Suarez played a part in his move to Barca.
Barca president Maria Bartomeu had asked Suarez to propose him a hotel for Coutinho to settle and the 30-year-old’s answer was:
“No president he doesn’t need it. I already found a home for him.”
Suarez spent 3million euros in 2014 to buy a house in Castelldefels, which is 49 minutes far from Camp Nou.
And when a home was free to buy in that neighborhood, Suarez bought it for Coutinho, but all this happened when it wasn’t clear whether Coutinho will actually move there.
“He saw that a house next to his became available,” added the Brazilian.
“He didn’t know I was coming for certain but he liked the idea. It’s a kind gesture.
“We’ve seen the pictures, the views look amazing.
“We are in touch all the time and I look forward to seeing the property with my family.
“I know Luis will help us to feel at home.”
