Aston Villa among six Premier League clubs in race to sign Barcelona midfielder in transfer window
Baku, January 6, AZERTAC
Philippe Coutinho is set to agree a move to a Premier League club by this weekend, with Aston Villa one of six English clubs in a race to sign the Barcelona midfielder, according to Sky Sports.
The former Liverpool player wants to return to England and sign for an ambitious club where he can play regularly.
The 29-year-old, who is also attracting interest from teams abroad, will decide his next club before this weekend.
Aston Villa have made a tentative enquiry to Barcelona but Villa's bosses are conscious of avoiding a bidding war with other clubs.
The Brazilian's wage demands could also be significant, however Villa boss Steven Gerrard is a keen admirer of Coutinho, having played alongside him at Liverpool for two-and-a-half years.
Coutinho has made 16 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona this season and is under contract at the Nou Camp until June 2023.
