Philippe Coutinho has responded to the rumors linking him with Aston Villa departure. On his Instagram channel, the Brazilian says: “In the past few days I’ve seen a lot of messages with my name. So far, ok. The problem now is that some lies have started and I’m here to clarify: never and at no point has there been any sort of conversation from me asking to leave the club because I’m happy here and my family too.”
Rather, the offensive player wants to build on his form from the past second half of the season. Back then, Coutinho scored eight points in 19 league games for Villa. In the current season, the former Bayern and Barça professional has not played a goal in 14 competitive games. “Now that I’ve recovered from the injury I’m just focused on giving my best every day, playing at a high level and helping the club and my team-mates achieve our goals.”, announces Coutinho. The noble technician is tied to Aston Villa until 2026.
