With Aston Villa having already qualified for the Champions League, manager Unai Emery will understand that he will have no strikers in his squad for 2024/25.
The Villains, like Newcastle last season, are likely to be stretched to the limit in terms of personnel and fitness issues, so the club needs players who are at their best and willing to put everything on the line in every game. .
Emery showed last season that he has the management tools to motivate and teach an exciting and experienced group of players, and now they need to deliver.
Coutinho will leave Aston Villa soon
Another who never did was Philippe Coutinho, the joint fifth most expensive signing of all time according to Goal.
The Brazilian's form has dipped so much that he spent the 2023/24 campaign at Al Duhail in Qatar, and now he is looking to move on again as it is clear that he is missing the part he played in Emery's revolution at Villa Park.
According to Brazilian journalist, Lucas Pedrosa, writing on X (formerly Twitter), Coutinho is about to return to the club where he started, Vasco da Gama.
?? NOVIDADES SOBRE COUTINHO
O Vasco já tem uma data para presentação do meia and também um planning para que ele possa estrear com camisa do Cruz-Maltino. There is no time when the club keeps a document that I can make for the use of the nunciar and também before preparing the atleta of CT Moacyr… pic.twitter.com/PoojYyL2wz

Pedrosa notes that the Brazilian outfit is trying to organize everything so that the 32-year-old can be unveiled on July 13 as soon as possible.
They are currently waiting for his papers at Aston Villa, and it is believed that this will not be a problem, it is just a matter of time.
For Coutinho himself, the return home will bring the curtain down on a career that saw him play for some of the most storied clubs in the world – Liverpool and Barcelona.
His form since then has unfortunately seen him perform erratically, so much so that Villa even considered canceling the remaining two years of his contract, with Birmingham Live.
