Agreement completed between Barcelona and Aston Villa after new direct contact today.
- Coutinho will be in England as soon as possible in order to complete his move on 6 month loan.
- Aston Villa will pay main part of the salary and so Barcelona are able to register Ferrán Torres.
- Coutinho had three approaches from UK clubs but his former teammate Steven Gerrard was a ‘key factor’ to join Aston Villa this winter.
