Remember that Coutinho previously played in the Premier League for Liverpool. However, in January 2018, Barcelona bought him for 120 million euros. But in Spain, the Brazilian’s career didn’t work out, and he never became a player on the first team.
In January of this year, the midfielder moved on loan to Aston Villa, where he managed to become a true leader in Birmingham, scoring 4 goals and making 3 assists in 16 Premier League games.
