„Philippe Coutinho, who can't find a place in the „Barcelona“ club, will finish the season in England. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on Friday that „Aston Villa“ and „Barca“ have agreed on a loan for the 29-year-old Brazilian until the end of the season. Later, this information was officially confirmed by the club. Earlier it was announced that several „Premier“ League clubs were interested in the services of the attacking midfielder, but the player himself decided to accept the offer from the „Aston Villa“ team. Journalist David Ornstein emphasizes that former Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard, currently coaching „Aston Villa“, played a significant role in P. Coutinho's decision. The English club has agreed to take on the majority of the Brazilian's salary.
