On Sunday, Coutinho claimed he is "very happy" at Anfield.
In September Ronaldinho backed Coutinho to continue giving everything at Anfield despite Reds rebuffing Barca's bids.
He said: “This season they will see him give everything for the club - that is the sort of player he is.
"Also no player is going to refuse to play when it’s the World Cup at the end of the season.
“The Liverpool fans have nothing to worry about - I do not believe any of the stories about him refusing to play for the club. I know him that is not his way.”
Coutinho is expected to start for Brazil in their friendly against England at Wembley tonight.
