Recently, the once-lucrative Felipe Gutiérrez has taken a new turn in his career. He chose to return to the Brazilian First Division as a player and joined his parent club Wasco. In this season, he will wear No. 11, and the former Westham midfielder Pierre, side by side to play, and jointly interpret the "Premier League Golden Midfield Legend".
Since moving to Barcelona from Liverpool in 2018, Filabi Gutiérrez's career seems to be stuck in a quagmire. He was briefly loaned out to Bayern Munich and Aston Villa, and despite being officially signed by Villa in the summer of 2022, his performances did not improve significantly. He scored just six goals in 43 games, and was even loaned out to Qatari side Al Duhani during this period.
However, it seems that Villa manager Emery is not going to keep trusting the 32-year-old Brazilian player. This time, he has opted to loan Gutiérrez to Wasco. On his return to his parent club, Gutiérrez said, "I feel very happy, my life overseas has made me deeply appreciate the warmth of home. Now that I am finally back in Brazil, my family and friends are happy." It is worth mentioning that Wasco signed French international Pierre last summer, and now with the addition of Filabi Gutiérrez, the team has a star-studded roster, and the two are looking forward to joining forces.
