League As reported that Coutinho's European career is about to end.
The Brazilian player, who was loaned to Vasco da Gama, will return to Aston Villa after spending a year in Brazil. Although the contract expires in June 2026, the 33-year-old seems to have no intention of continuing to compete in Europe.
With Emery no longer having the position of the former Barcelona and Liverpool player under his command, the two sides are likely to reach a termination agreement, making him officially a Vascoda Gama player. According to Brazil, the player himself intends to terminate his contract with Villa and stay in his parent team that made him his superstar career.
Joining Vascoda Gama in July 2024 is Coutinho's second loan after Qatar Duhele's brief play. This choice clearly reveals that his future is not in Villa, and his career opportunities after his thirties are far away from the mainstream leagues.
The termination of the contract is not expected to encounter resistance, and Aston Villa can also benefit from it, clear out redundant players and optimize the salary structure. The background of all this is that the team failed to qualify for the 2024-25 Champions League.
According to rumors, Vascoda Gama is working hard to keep the player going there. The clubs of both sides may also reach a new loan agreement until Coutinho's contract expires.
