Aston Villa are in negotiations to allow the former Liverpool no.10 Philippe Coutinho to leave
Philippe Coutinho is set be moved on by Aston Villa just 12 months after sealing a permanent transfer to the Premier League club.
The Brazilian was once adored on Merseyside, developing into one of the finest playmakers in world football in the Brendan Rodgers era and also Jurgen Klopp’s early plans.
He notched 99 goal contributions in 201 appearances in the famous red strip, but his desire to play for Barcelona invoked a transfer saga that brought his Liverpool career to a sad end
The story afterwards is well known, and Coutinho’s career at the Camp Nou didn’t turn out as hoped. Barca supporters quickly turned on him too, resulting in two loan moves away from Spain before eventually ending up under the wing of former team-mate Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa
