Advances in negotiations
Since his arrival in Brazil on May 24, the “Cria da Colina” has been the center of attention among Vasco fans. The process of terminating his contract with Aston Villa, England, has been a source of questioning by the fans, who anxiously await the outcome of the negotiations.
Recently, there have been advances in the negotiations with Vasco. With the return of the English club after the end of the season, Aston Villa gave the green light for the negotiations with the Cruz-Maltino. In addition, Coutinho met with president Pedrinho last Wednesday (5) to finalize the final details.
The star’s children enrolled in a school in Rio
Another factor that increases the hope of the Gigante’s fans is the fact that Philippe Coutinho has already enrolled his children in a school in Rio de Janeiro, according to information from the “Atenção, Vascaínos” channel.
During the conversation with Pedrinho, the midfielder made some demands for the return, which were accepted by Vasco’s president.
However, Aston Villa’s final consent is still necessary, as they have made the negotiations difficult due to the strong interest shown by the Cruz-Maltino. The English team is aware of the player’s desire to change clubs, and the contract termination should be made official soon.
Vasco hopes that Coutinho will sign the termination with the Lions and join the club permanently. If this materializes, the player will arrive without costs for the Colina team and can be announced in the coming days.
