Philippe Coutinho has responded to Mohamed Salah's farewell message on Instagram, following his £142million transfer to Barcelona.

The Brazilian penned a five-and-a-half year deal at the Camp Nou last week, ending one of the longest transfer sagas in the game's history.

He was paraded in front of the Barcelona fans on Monday before training with his new teammates ahead of his hotly-anticipated debut.

Meanwhile at Liverpool his former teammates have been taking to social media to pen farewell messages to the 25-year-old.

Alberto Moreno wished Coutinho all the best, and posted pictures of the pair together at Liverpool, as did club captain Jordan Henderson.

Salah, who has only played alongside Coutinho this season, also took the time out to wish the playmaker luck on the next chapter of his career.

Coutinho responded to the message with an amicable comment of his own. "Thanks amigo you are great," he wrote. "Pleasure [to] have played with you. All the best.
