Barcelona will be in line for a cash injection if Philippe Coutinho leaves Aston Villa this month.
Coutinho has been tipped to leave Villa Park before the summer transfer window closes after playing a reduced role under Unai Emery last season.
The Brazilian international moved back to the Premier League in May 2022, after a loan spell at Villa, but his return to English football has not been smooth.
Injuries have played a role in Coutinho’s lack of action, but Emery is unconvinced by the former La Blaugrana forward, and is ready to sell him.
Coutinho made just seven Premier League starts in 2022/23 as Emery steered Villa to a UEFA Europa Conference League place at the end of the campaign.
As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Coutinho was targeted by a two clubs in Saudi Arabia in June, as part of the ongoing Saudi Pro League recruitment drive.
The veteran attacker has also reportedly received an approach from a team in Qatar, with Villa valuing him at around €10m, and Barcelona are holding on hold to pick up a 50% sell on clause.
