Felipe Gutiérrez, who has been reduced to a "human ball" in recent years, has a new destination. He has returned to the Barclays Premier League as a player in his own right, joining parent club Wasco. For one season, he will wear the number 11 jersey and become a teammate of former Westham midfielder Pierre. "Premier League Gold Midfield Partner".
Filabi Gutiérrez's career has been on a downward spiral since he moved from Liverpool to Barcelona in 2018. He was loaned out to Bayern Munich and Aston Villa. Although he was bought out by Villa in the summer of 2022, his performances still improved. He scored six goals in 43 games and was even loaned out to Qatari side Al Duhani during this period.
Villa manager Emery clearly has no intention of reusing the 32-year-old Brazilian. This time, he loaned him to Wasco. Upon his return to his parent club, Gutiérrez said, "I'm happy. I've been living overseas for a long time. I'm really happy to be back home. My family and friends are happy to be back in Brazil." It's worth noting that Wasco have added Philippe Gutiérrez to their squad before signing French international Pierre last summer, which makes the team even more star-studded, and the two have a partnership to look forward to.
