Aston Villa can confirm that Philippe Coutinho has completed a permanent move to Vasco da Gama.
The midfielder was on loan with the Brazilian side last term and returned to the club following the end of his temporary stint, but both clubs have now agreed a deal for the playmaker to go back to his hometown club on a permanent basis.
After signing for Villa initially on loan in January 2022, he went on to pen a permanent deal at Villa Park and made 43 appearances in claret and blue, scoring six goals.
Everyone at Aston Villa would like to thank Philippe for his service to the club and wish him all the best in his future career.
