Aston Villa thrashed Everton 4-0 in the just-concluded Premier League match, however, the joy of this victory was mixed with regret - Felipe Gutiérrez, who came on as a substitute, was unfortunately injured and in a serious condition. Although this has little effect on Villa, Barcelona lost at least €10 million (about HK$85 million) in revenue as a result.
Gutenberg made only two substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, and was injured in the match against Everton after only 21 minutes of play. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, his left foot was injured and he needed two staff members to assist him out of the field, unable to land, with a pained expression.
Due to his injury, Gutiérrez will have a hard time finding a buyer before the transfer window closes this summer, and he will remain at Villa to recover from his injury. This has a limited impact on Villa, but it is a heavy blow to the financially strained Barcelona. Spanish media reported that Barcelona in the sale of Gutiérrez to Villa had reached an agreement: if Gutiérrez's next transfer fee of more than 20 million euros (about 170 million Hong Kong dollars), Barcelona can share 50%, that is, 10 million euros.
It is reported that Gutenu has recently been favored by the Saudi team, and considering Saudi Arabia's recent high-profile acquisitions of stars, it is not difficult for his transfer fee to exceed 20 million euros. Barcelona is looking forward to this share to solve the urgent need, however, Gutenberg's serious injury undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to Barcelona.
