Coutinho - and indeed Gerrard - will no doubt be keen to finish their first seasons at Villa Park in a positive manner. Upon the announcement of Coutinho’s permanent signing, Villa boss Steven Gerrard was left waxing lyrical about his abilities and the club’s efforts to get the transfer over the line. The Brazilian playmaker was announced as a full-time Aston Villa player on Thursday evening, the Premier League side activating their option to make his loan deal permanent.

Rather, with his reluctance to press and his inconsistency, he had come to seem something of a luxury, and this was a Barcelona side whose aging midfield was already struggling to cover for an increasingly indulgent forward line. Villa could easily be his Everton. This, too, is a club comprising expensive players who have not quite made it elsewhere, the very young talents on the rise—and Lucas Digne. “With the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch, he’s also a valuable role model for our younger players who can only benefit from his experience.” After Paris Saint-Germain had signed Neymar in the summer of 2017 for a staggering €222 million, more than doubling the existing world record—the first time since the 1890s that the record fee had made such a leap—Barcelona was left with two problems. Coutinho’s debut for Barcelona came in the Copa del Rey against Espanyol. He made a promising start: a few nice touches and a nutmeg that delighted fans desperate for a new hero. Through no great fault of his own, the Brazilian has come to symbolize the calamitousness of Barcelona’s post-Neymar years, and it feels as though his departure is a vital part of Xavi’s process of renewal.
