However, the deal won’t be finalized until Coutinho passes Villa’s medicals and a UK work permit is granted.
Philippe Coutinho joined Barcelona on a £142m transfer deal from Liverpool in January 2018.
He scored 26 goals in 106 appearances for the Catalans, and has 18 months left to play on his contract.

His return to England reunites him with Villa manager Steven Gerrard, who was his captain at Liverpool.
