Last summer, Aston Villa let Philippe Coutinho join Vasco da Gama on loan and that deal will expire next Monday.
The attacking midfielder has expressed his desire to extend his stay at the Brazilian club beyond this month. Vasco da Gama CEO Carlos Amodeo has stated they are in talks with his agent.
On June 15th, Vasco da Gama manager Fernando Diniz said he’s confident the Aston Villa player will return to the club. The 33-year-old has a year left on his contract at Villa Park. The Brazilian club have been hopeful he can terminate his contract so that they can sign him permanently.
Four days ago, Terra reported Vasco da Gama will seek a new loan deal until the end of this year as Aston Villa are refusing to terminate his contract. On Thursday, we covered claims from Brazil that Monchi & co. aren’t making it easy during negotiations.
Saturday’s edition of O Dia again states the South American club are looking to extend his loan if Aston Villa refuse to release him.
Vasco da Gama’s board believe the Villans won’t make it difficult despite the latest claims stating that Aston Villa aren’t willing to terminate Coutinho’s contract.
The report makes it clear there has been ‘no update regarding the situation with Aston Villa’.
Vasco da Gama are optimistic of securing a new agreement for Coutinho, and Aston Villa’s tough stance isn’t worrying them.
