Luis Suarez sends Barcelona target Philippe Coutinho bottle of vodka for Christmas after drawing him in Secret Santa game set up by Neymar
Nou Camp star urged his former Liverpool team-mate to take more shots - with a bottle of Russia's finest
LUIS SUAREZ has urged Philippe Coutinho to take more shots - by buying him a bottle of vodka.
The Barcelona star got his former Liverpool team-mate in a game of Secret Santa organised by Paris Saint-Germain's world-record signing Neymar.
Suarez, 30, and Coutinho, 25, spent one-and-a-half seasons together at Anfield between 2013 and 2014.
The Uruguayan will be hoping for a sensational reunion at the Nou Camp with Coutinho having been tracked by Barca for the last few transfer windows.
Catalan club officials failed with a final bid of £118million this summer but are expected to go back in for the Brazil ace in January.
In the video Suarez explains Coutinho is his Secret Santa before the latter appears on screen and starts laughing at his gift.
Suarez says: "Now I'm going to reveal my Secret Santa, it's my little brother, Philippe Coutinho.
"Well, Philippe, your Secret Santa was me and from Barcelona I send you a gift that I know you'll like a lot because I know you're going to remember the good times that we have and that we live."
Coutinho reveals the bottle and laughs: ";What the f***!
"When Luis was here his wife liked to drink it and so did I. Thank you."
Coutinho was spared an awkward answer over his future following Liverpool's 4-0 win over Bournemouth when team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain jumped to his rescue.
When asked about a big-money move to Barcelona, Coutinho began: "I always say the same thing. I try to enjoy the moment, I like to play football and every time I go on the pitch I try my best.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain sensed his pal was struggling and interrupted: "Phil’s a Liverpool player . . . he’s a Liverpool player right now and he’s doing really well for us."
