Coutinho's contract isn't up until 2020 meaning Real would have to break the bank to land the midfield schemer.

He's made s blistering start to the season, firing three goals and putting on two assists in eight games for the Reds.

Ronaldo was also full of praise for former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

He thinks the Barcelona man is up alongside Lionel Messi, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best players in the world.

"They are three great players," he added.

"I would also include Luis Suarez as he is playing very well.

"It is so difficult to choose just one as the best. They are very, very good. At the moment I will choose Cristiano as he is playing for Real Madrid, but we cannot forget how good Messi and Neymar are, and we must respect these players for the entertainment they bring us."
