Barcelona are ready to further lower their summer asking price for Philippe Coutinho to seal a summer exit to Aston Villa.
Former teammate and now Villa boss, Steven Gerrard has stated his desire to keep the Brazilian at the club beyond his loan.
Upon his return to the Premier League, he has scored four goals and three assists in 15 appearances for Villa so far this season
Gerrard reunited with his former Liverpool teammate at Villa Park in January on a six month loan from the Camp Nou.
The current agreement with La Blaugrana expires at the end of the 2021/22 season, with Barcelona paying the bulk of his wages.
The two parties agreed a €40m purchase clause in the initial move, with Coutinho’s Barcelona contract up at the end of 2022/23.
Barcelona are desperate to offload Coutinho in the coming weeks, and they could lower that fee to €20m, if Villa push for a reduction.
