According to the latest report from the Spanish media "Daily Sport", Barca's Brazilian midfielder Coutinho has completed the deal to join Premier League Aston Villa on loan in the winter window, and the loan period is until the end of the season, and the loan contract contains an optional buyout clause of 40 million euros.
It can be seen that Villa must only want to loan Coutinho for half a season, and has no intention of buying it out, which is what the fans call "white prostitution". Why? Judging by Coutinho's latest german turnaround price, the Brazilian midfielder's current value has dropped to 18 million euros, so It is absolutely impossible for Villa to bring in Coutinho in the summer window of this year with a 40 million euro buyout fee, which means that Coutinho will return to Barca at the end of the season, and the two sides will be contracted until June 30, 2023.
Barca's investment in Dembele, Griezmann and Coutinho has failed, dembele has no intention of renewing his contract and will leave the team on free at the end of the season; Griezmann is currently on loan at Atletico with a mandatory buyout clause of 40 million euros; Coutinho is on loan for Villa in the winter window with a €40 million selective buyout clause.
As Coutinho is not on Xavi's plans, Barca are well aware that Villa is unlikely to buy out Coutinho after the season, but renting Coutinho outside the winter window is still good for the Red and Blues, as the club can free up some salary space and register new signing Ferran Torres.
Finally, bless Coutinho! I hope that the arrow through the clouds will once again resound in the clouds of the Premier League! up, Ku bird! With former teammates and today's apprentices - Gerald, hand in hand to create brilliant!
