After a disastrous four-year spell at Camp Nou, the Brazilian is returning to England. Aston Villa have confirmed the acquisition of Philippe Coutinho on loan from Barcelona with a purchase option.
The Brazil international will finish the 2021-22 season at Villa Park, hoping to regain the spark he lost in Catalunya.
With Gerrard rather than playing alongside him, he had five years of success in the Premier League at Anfield.
What was said?
Aston Villa announced the signing on social media on Tuesday.
He's perfect and here...
11 January 2022 — Aston Villa
The club announced his arrival in a statement that read: "Philippe Coutinho has agreed to spend the rest of the season on loan at Aston Villa. The deal contains a buy-out option."
Why is Coutinho moving?
Liverpool signed the 29-year-old from Serie A heavyweights Inter in the 2013 winter window.
He rapidly became a major creative element for Brendan Rodgers' Reds.
Premier League title triumph eluded him in his first full season, and significant trophies eluded him throughout his brilliant Reds career.
Coutinho made 201 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 54 goals and providing 28 assists.
Thanks to such efforts, the opportunity to move to Barcelona in January 2018 arose.
A £146 million ($198 million) deal was approved, but Coutinho struggled at Camp Nou with Lionel Messi and co.
Inconsistency followed the South American from Spain to Germany in 2019-20.
Barca made it known during the summer window of 2021 that they were willing to cut their losses and sell Coutinho.
He's been linked to six Premier League clubs since then, but he's hopeful a reunion with Gerrard can change his luck again.
