A wrong transfer, let Liverpool "a brother", become an ordinary player, and now once again return to the Premier League to join Villa on loan, play ok, players are eager to stay, but Villa's offer is far less than Barca's psychological price.
According to the latest report from the Spanish media "Daily Sport", Aston Villa did intend to bring in Coutinho in the summer window, because Gerald was very sure of the strength of the Brazilian midfielder, and the two had a pleasant cooperation at Liverpool, but Villa sent Barca the first offer of only 14 million euros, which is far less than the selective buyout amount (40 million euros) in the loan contract.
Coutinho is the most expensive signing in Barca's history, and so far Barca has paid a total fee of 135 million euros to Liverpool, but the players are not satisfied with Barca, but instead they have won the Champions League on loan to Bayern, and now they have finally found some form on loan to Villa. As he grew older and spent several seasons in a slump, Coutinho's value in Germany has plummeted from a peak of €150 million to €18 million. Villa is not a fool, the player is worth 18 million euros, call him 40 million euros to buy out, which is certainly impossible. Villa confirmed that Barca would clean Coutinho of his final year contract in the summer window, and the first offer was only 14 million euros. The two sides will definitely bargain, Barca want to sell, Villa wants to buy, and finally the price of around 20 million euros is more likely, Villa will try to meet Gerrard's reinforcements.
Coutinho, 29, has played in 15 Premier League games this season, scoring four goals and three assists on loan from Villa.
