According to reliable sources from MLS Multiplex, Aston Villa is seriously considering the possibility of loaning Coutinho to a Major League Soccer (MLS) team after the expiration of his contract with Al Duhail in Qatar. However, the option of a sale to another club cannot be ruled out, as the player doesn't seem to be part of the immediate plans of the English team.
The 31-year-old midfielder, who had a previous stint with Aston Villa before being loaned to Al Duhail, appears to be seeking a new chapter in his career. MLS Multiplex sources indicate that the English club views the MLS as a viable option for Coutinho, considering the league's growing prestige and competitiveness in recent years.

The possibility of Coutinho landing in the MLS is not just a rumor. MLS Multiplex has learned that Aston Villa has already initiated exploratory talks with some Major League Soccer clubs, aiming to find a suitable environment for the talented Brazilian midfielder. If this loan materializes, Coutinho will have the opportunity not only to showcase his soccer skills on American soil but also to contribute to the league's expansion and the increasingly high level of technical play.
However, while the MLS option is on the table, Aston Villa is not closing the door to other possibilities. MLS Multiplex has access to information indicating that the English club is open to the idea of selling Coutinho to any interested team.
MLS Multiplex sources also emphasize that the final decision on Coutinho's destination will depend on various factors, including concrete offers received by Aston Villa, the player's willingness regarding possible destinations, and the club's strategic vision for building its squad in the coming years.
The potential arrival of Philippe Coutinho would not only be a technical reinforcement for the chosen team but also a significant milestone for the MLS. The presence of a player with Coutinho's caliber and experience would undoubtedly attract attention to the MLS, further solidifying the league as an attractive destination for internationally renowned players.
On the other hand, Coutinho, who has previously played in the Premier League with Liverpool and Aston Villa, might be contemplating a return to the European scene, where the level of competition and visibility are widely recognized.
While rumors and speculations continue to surround Coutinho's future, one certainty remains: the final decision will rest with Aston Villa and the negotiations that will unfold in the coming months.
