Transfer splitter | Coutinho follows Gerrard's call

In Barcelona has Philippe Coutinho - since his move in January 2018 - has not found his happiness. Now the Brazilian noble technician is being awarded for the second time. This time it's back to the Premier League to Aston Villa. There the 2-year-old will meet his former teammate from Liverpool FC (where Coutinho experienced his best times) Steven Gerrard, who has been coach at the Birmingham club for a few months. There the tenner should find its way back to its old strength. By the way, the two clubs will split Coutinho's generous salary until the end of the season.

League rivals Newcastle United also strengthened themselves with a prominent name. Full-back Kieran Trippier , with England in the European Championship final in the summer, is returning to the island after two and a half years at Atletico Madrid. The 31-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year contract in Newcastle until the summer of 2024. The new Saudi Arabian club owners are also expected to pay a transfer fee of around 15 million euros for his signing. The “Magpies” are in 19th place in the Premier League relegation zone, two points behind 17th position.

However, two players left the island and moved to Serie A on loan. Central defender Axel Tuanzebe goes to Napoli for a fee of 500.000 euros - also because Kalidou Koulibaly will soon be playing with Senegal in the Africa Cup. Tuanzebe is under contract with Manchester United but was previously on loan at Aston Villa. AS Roma, on the other hand, has Arsenals Ainsley Maitland-Niles – also borrowed for a fee of 500.000 euros. The 24-year-old, who can play in both right and central midfield, has recently played no role for the Gunners and was Roma coach José Mourinho's preferred player.
