Philippe Coutinho, from Barcelona, said he would like to play one day alongside his fellow countryman Neymar at club level.
While the transfer rumors are looming in the summer 's approach for both players, people are now wondering if the two could join each other next season.
Coutinho is in Barcelona only since January 2018, but is already linked to a move elsewhere, while Neymar has always been a target for major European clubs.

There has been a lot of transfer speculation surrounding Neymar and Philippe Coutinho.
Coutinho told De Sola (via Goal): "It's always a pleasure to play with him, it's a crack. We played a lot of time in the Brazilian youth teams, [Neymar] has become a special player.
"Playing with him is always a pleasure, even though I have not had a chance at the club level yet. It would be nice to play with him in a club.
Both players played together internationally for Brazil, but have not yet been aligned at the level of top professionals.

Neymar had originally planned to move to Real Madrid, but it seems that Zinedine Zidane would prefer to make his teammate Neymar's PSG, Kylian Mbappe, his main goal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea emerged as a possible team for Coutinho, who was linked to a comeback in the Premier League. He is considered a possible replacement if Eden Hazard had to leave in the summer.
With so much going on in the air, Coutinho and Neymar still have a lot to do to play together next season, but the 26-year-old can dream.
