Philippe Coutinho can be returned to Premier League, as recent reports have suggested that Aston Villa coach Steven Gerrard has personally communicated with the midfielder on the phone.
Aston Villa has been quite impressive, since coming to the helm of the Liverpool legend's bench. However, the team still lacks creativity in attack, and this has been noticed more in the face of strong teams in the Premier League. The team has the right funds at its disposal, as in the summer it managed to raise a full 100 million pounds for the services of Jack Grealish, who was transferred to Manchester City. Given this, Gerrard is making efforts to bring in a high-caliber player like Coutinho.
The Brazilian left Liverpool in 2018, to be transferred to Barcelona for the extraordinary figure of 140 million pounds, but the midfielder's adventure in Spain did not go well. The Catalans are going through one of the most difficult moments in their history, and Coutinho has not been able to have the right impact on the pitch.
According to Spanish journalists, Gerrard is seeking a move in the form of a loan. journalism Gerard romero has said that this scenario interests all parties, as the Brazilian can prove once again that he still has the potential and the right talent, while Barcelona does not lose one of its most precious players.
If Coutinho leaves, the Spaniards will also have the opportunity to speed up the registration procedures for Ferran Torres, who came from Manchester City, for the figure of 55 million pounds.
Another reason why Gerrard seeks Coutinho is the fairly close relationship the two have with each other. The Brazilian and Villa's coach have played side by side in 81 meetings at Liverpool, and Gerrard has said at the time that the midfielder has been one of his favorite team-mates.
