Besiktas has made a low offer to Aston Villa to get the Brazilian on loan
The Turkish club is only willing to assume 40% of his salary and intends to have a purchase option for 8 million euros
Philippe Coutinho can boast of being one of the most ruinous signings in the history of FC Barcelona, although not even his departure from the Blaugrana club to Aston Villa has helped him to stop his devaluation as a footballer. We have the last proof in the offer that Besiktas has made to incorporate him for next season.
The Turkish club has set its sights on the former Blaugrana, whom it intends to incorporate on loan and with a purchase option of only 8 million euros, well below the 120 million that Barça paid Liverpool in its day, an agreement that also included an extra package of 40 million more in various variables.
The signing was a lousy business for Barcelona, which after two assignments to Bayern Munich and Aston Villa, only managed to recover 20 million by transferring the Brazilian to the English club a year ago, although the Blaugrana club 50% of the capital gain from a future sale of the player was reserved.
WITHOUT LEADING
Coutinho has just turned 31 and has once again lost prominence during the course of the last season. In fact, since mid-February He only appeared in one call and did not play for a minute.
The reality is that Aston Villa does not have the Brazilian and Besiktas is trying to incorporate him at a bargain price. As reported by the Turkish newspaper ‘Milliyet’, the club from Istanbul has made an offer to get him on loan, which It only contemplates paying 40% of the winger’s salary. Both clubs are negotiating.
