Barcelona Prepared To 'Rip Up' Coutinho Transfer Agreement, Aston Villa Could Get Him For Dirt Cheap

He re-opened his Premier League goal account against Manchester United before scoring in his side's 3-3 draw with Leeds United. 

The La Liga giants are hellbent on discarding the player to ease up on their wage bill. 

It's thought the club would consider lowering their asking price. 

The report claims that Barca believe Villa will not stump up £34 million and will look to negotiate a new price. 

It has been suggested that Gerrard's side could secure Coutinho's services for just £21-£25 million. 

Of course, Coutinho commanded a whopping £105 million in 2017 when he signed for Barca from Liverpool. 

The 29-year-old produced heroics in his last outing for Villa, scoring and setting up two goals. 

And speaking after the game, Gerrard hailed a 'vintage' showing from Coutinho.

"It was vintage Philippe Coutinho," he told reporters. 

"He seems happy, we have given the stage to go and enjoy his football again.

"His vision and his awareness, if you don’t love watching that you should stop watching football."
