Heading into 2023, 29-year-old Brazilian star Filippo Gutiérrez returned to the club on loan in January
England Premier Soccer League
He moved from Barcelona to Aston Villa. At the beginning of his career, he was unstoppable, scoring goals and assists, but this brilliance seems to be short-lived. Recently, the Brazilian international has been virtually invisible in five matches, with no goals or assists, and it seems that Aston Villa's leader Sherratt may give up on buying him out this summer.
Since joining, Filabi Gutiérrez has made eight appearances for Villa, contributing four goals, not least against
Manchester United Football Club
of brilliant goals. However, recent performances have been disappointing, with a goal against
City of Listeria
In the match, he had just 24 touches in 79 minutes, no shots on goal, not even a threatening pass, and even conceded eight possessions, a clear decline in form.
Originally, Villa intended to buy out Filabi Gutiérrez this summer, but Barcelona demanded a transfer fee as high as 40 million euros, which discouraged Villa. Now, Filabi Gutiérrez's form has declined significantly, Villa will not consider buying him out, and it is expected that he will return to Barcelona next season.
In fact, Filabi Gutiérrez isn't alone in this downturn in form, as Ashton Villa's overall performance hasn't been good either. The team has previously suffered

Four consecutive losses until the last match against
City of Listeria
It took a 0-0 draw to stop the slide. Though the team's leader Sherratt had led the team to rebound, the effect seems to be similar to that of Filippo Gutiérrez, both of which ended in a snail's pace.
