Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Édouard Mendy’s “Little Brother” interview!
It was a perfectly wise choice. By choosing to join Aston Villa to return to the Premier League last summer, Philippe Coutinho found a perfect medium to forget his failure at Barça and his lackluster loan from Bayern Munich. To the point that his situation now arouses all lusts.
On the one hand, there is the Aston Villa club to which Coutinho is loaned and which has a purchase option of 40 million euros to acquire his services definitively. Mundo Deportivo also assures in recent hours that Steven Gerrard has asked his club to lift it.
Newcastle want to steal Coutinho
Except that the competition looks tough. Arsenal and especially Newcastle would be on the spot. The Magpies and their XXL project with the Saudi owners would also be ready for all the madness in the file. Sport announced yesterday that Newcastle would be willing to offer him a huge signing bonus in order to convince him to choose a future with the Magpies. One thing is certain, the big winner is called Barça, who will be able to conclude a sacred sale next summer.
to summarize
Philippe Coutinho, the Brazilian attacking midfielder, is a complete success on his loan to Aston Villa. Barça will therefore see the clubs agitated like never around his case. Allowing to pocket a hell of a sum in the coffers.
