UEFA Champions League
Borussia Dortmund has completed the permanent signing of Yan Couto after triggering the mandatory purchase option for 30 million euros, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. The Brazilian full-back, who has performed well under Nuri Sahin's guidance at the German team, has earned a spot in the starting lineup after accumulating significant minutes this season. With seven matches played and 331 minutes under his belt, Couto has met the necessary requirements to finalize the deal that separates him from Manchester City.
Yan Couto has secured a starting role
The young defender, who joined City in 2020 from Coritiba for around six million euros, never had the chance to play an official match with Pep Guardiola's team. Upon his arrival in Europe, he was loaned to various clubs, including Girona, where he spent three seasons, one of them shared with Sporting de Braga. During his time with the Catalan team, Couto became a key figure in Michel's scheme, helping Girona achieve a historic qualification for the Champions League.
Now, at Borussia Dortmund, Couto continues to showcase his potential and versatility to play both as a full-back and in more advanced positions. Despite not being called up for the recent South American Qualifiers, his quality suggests that he will be part of the future of the Brazilian national team. With this move, Dortmund adds another young talent aiming to establish himself in European football's elite.
