Coutinho joins on a six-month loan, despite rumors Barca had been pushing for a longer deal, and the transfer does include a purchase option.
Here’s the club’s official statement:
“FC Barcelona and Aston Villa have reached an agreement for the loan of the player Philippe Coutinho until the end of the season. The agreement, subject to the player passing his medical and obtaining a work permit, includes an option to make the transfer permanent.
“The English club will pay part of the player’s wages and the midfielder is expected to travel to Birmingham in the next few hours.”

The Brazilian’s departure should mean that Barcelona can now register new signing Ferran Torres following his arrival from Manchester City.
