The Brazilian playmaker is returning to England four years on from making a big-money move to Camp Nou that did not play out as planned
Aston Villa have agreed to sign Philippe Coutinho on loan from Barcelona with an option to buy the former Liverpool playmaker as he prepares to reunite with his old team-mate Steven Gerrard.
The Brazil international will see out the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign at Villa Park as he seeks to rediscover a professional spark that was lost in Catalunya.
He previously starred on the Premier League stage across five years at Anfield, and will be hoping to pick up where he left off after agreeing to work under Gerrard, rather than play alongside him.
