Philippe Coutinho and Barcelona could eventually split next summer.

The Brazilian midfielder is on loan at Aston Villa and the English club is planning to finally buy his card.

Coach Steven Gerrard wants the former footballer of Inter, Espanyol, Liverpool and Bayern Munich in the team as long as possible.

The Brazilian representative has started to return to his former form in the Premier League, write the British and Spanish media.

He has total agreement with Aston Villa, but now it remains to find common ground between the clubs.

Coutinho has never found the optimal form at the “Camp Nou” and in Catalonia is considered a failure and despair.

Therefore, he can leave “Blaugrana” without leaving a trace and his absence will not be felt in Xavi Hernandez’s team.

The creative footballer was once one of the best midfielders in European football, especially in the period when he played in Liverpool.
