Philippe Coutinho is, without a doubt, one of the biggest stars to ever come out of Vasco da Gama’s youth ranks. Although he is not currently having a great moment, his good work in the Premier League is still remembered today and his historic signing for FC Barcelona, despite having been a failure, remains anecdotal in football books. modern.
What is clear is that despite his turbulent present, Coutinho is still a player with a good poster and in Qatar, with Al-Duhail, he would be experiencing a relatively good moment despite his recent injury. For this reason, according to the Spanish press, his training club would intend to put together a plan that would allow them to catch him in the near future.

Vasco dreams of repatriating Philippe Coutinho, but the operation seems complicated in the short term
According to Joaquim Piera, a Brazilian journalist from Diario Sport , Vasco da Gama does not rule out under any circumstances bringing back Coutinho, this being a possibility that is actively discussed within the club. However, all parties involved know how complicated it would be to finalize the deal, especially in terms of convincing the club that owns his chip, Aston Villa.

The “Villains” hired him as a property in the summer of 2022, offering him a contract until 2026. After the departure of Steven Gerrard and due to his irregular performances, the Birmingham club chose to loan him to Qatari football. Therefore, it is not ruled out that they are interested in selling him in the near future if he does not manage to revalue himself in Qatar.
Piera assures that his possible return to Vasco is in very primary stages, since there would be no certainty of Coutinho’s willingness to return to Brazil nor would there be active conversations with Aston Villa, a club that would try to sell him for a good amount to amortize his signing.
However, this would be a dream that the Vasco board wants to fulfill and formal conversations could begin in January or the summer of 2024. Will it happen? Time will tell.
