Villa want to sign Philippe Coutinho
Aston Villa are one of a number of Premier League clubs watching Philippe Coutinho’s situation
as the Barcelona outcast seeks to leave the Nou Camp.
Barca are desperate to move the 29-year-old Brazil playmaker on after agreeing a deal to sign Ferran Torres from
Manchester City for £55m.
He has also been linked with Arsenal, Everton, Newcastle United and Spurs.
Coutinho is also keen for a fresh start as he tries to revive a career that has stalled badly since his £142m move from Liverpool
in January 2018, although he did win the Champions League in 2020 while on loan at Bayern Munich from Barcelona.
The Brazilian was a key figure alongside Gerrard when Liverpool almost won the Premier League is 2014 and the idea of being
reunited with his inspirational former captain may well hold appeal for a player with designs on joining a club of high ambition
when he leaves Barcelona.
