Borussia Dortmund have strengthened their defence with the signing of Yan Couto from Manchester City.
The Brazilian right-back joins the Black and Yellows on an initial loan deal for the 2024/25 campaign.
As confirmed by BVB, the loan move will be made permanent if “certain sporting criteria are filfilled in the coming season”.
“Yan Couto was on our radar even before he won the U17 World Cup with Brazil in 2019,” said Borussia Dortmund managing director for sport Lars Ricken.
“He has the potential to be a very special player, with outstanding pace, technique and creativity – he’s the kind of player fans come to watch. He’s very young with a lot still to learn, but we’re confident that he can follow in the footsteps of special Brazilian players like Júlio César, Dedé and Márcio Amoroso at Dortmund.”
The 22-year-old Brazilian right-back has spent the last two seasons on loan at Girona in Spain. He made 34 appearances for the club last season, scoring once and providing 10 assists.
