decisive meeting for Philippe Coutinho

What’s next after this ad

According to Mirror, FC Barcelona will summon the agents of Brazilian attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho this week to speed up negotiations concerning the future of the player who is on loan from the Blaugranas with the option to buy at Aston Villa until the end of the season. The Catalan management has above all a financial interest in this operation because it wants to know if the Villans will pay the 40 million euros of the purchase option before the end of June in order to be able to balance their accounts. The Brazilian is engaged with the Barcelona club until June 2023.

If ever the Premier League club refuses to exercise the purchase option or wants to renegotiate it, Barça could give the green light to the Seleção player’s entourage to negotiate with other teams. Villa would have some doubts in particular on the price of the operation for Coutinho who has certainly impressed at times since his return to England in January, but who has not been as consistent as one would hope. The 29-year-old attacking midfielder has made 12 appearances for Aston Villa this year, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
