Philippe Coutinho has completed a permanent transfer to Aston Villa, putting an end to his four-year Barcelona nightmare.
Villa have paid just £17million for the Brazilian, with a 50 per cent sell-on clause for any future sale sweetening the deal. Coutinho has signed a four-year contract worth £125,000-a-week - a pay cut of more than 70 per cent.
Coutinho joined Villa on loan from Barcelona in the January transfer window and has impressed playing under his former teammate at Liverpool, Steven Gerrard.
