The star Brazilian midfielder has agreed a return with his hometown club. One nuance remains

Experienced Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho has agreed to return to his hometown club Vasco da Gama, according to insider Fabrizio Romano.

Coutinho has settled the terms for his return, and the contract is nearly finalized. The last step is terminating his contract with Aston Villa, which currently holds his rights.

Aston Villa is reportedly ready to grant the Brazilian a release soon. His contract with Villa runs until June 2026.
