Philippe Coutinho joins Aston Villa on loan until the end of 2021-22

Aston Villa have reached an agreement with Barcelona to sign Philippe Coutinho. The midfielder will be joining Villa until the end of the season on loan. The Premier League club will be paying the main part of his salary, and will also have the option to buy him. 

Coutinho returns to the Premier League after struggling at Barcelona since 2018. He remains one of the most expensive footballers in the world, having been signed for €135 million from Liverpool. He spent the 19/20 season at Bayern Munich, and has been on the transfer list ever since. 

Despite rumours linking him back to Liverpool, Aston Villa have gone in and signed the player from the Spanish giants.
