Philippe Coutinho has confirmed his departure from boyhood club
Vasco de Gama‚ citing that he is 'mentally exhausted' in an emotional statement on social media.
Coutinho‚ 33‚ re-joined the
Brazilian side on a permanent deal last year‚ following a short-loan spell during his stint at
Aston Villa‚ and seemed likely to extend his stay at the club. However‚ the former
Liverpool and
Barcelona midfielder has been booed by his own fans in recent weeks‚ most recently during a penalty shootout victory over second division side Volta Redonda in the Campeonato Carioca quarter-finals.
Coutinho was substituted at half-time during the clash‚ and opted not to return to the bench to support his team-mates in the second half.
