Couto set to leave BVB? A solution now emerges | OneFootball

After two inconsistent years at Borussia Dortmund, Yan Couto could leave the club again as early as this summer. A move for the BVB star to Como 1907 is becoming more concrete.

Yan Couto’s future at Borussia Dortmund remains uncertain. After two mixed years, the Brazilian could leave BVB again this summer. One club in particular from Italy is showing strong interest in the 24-year-old.

According to several media outlets, Como 1907 have registered their interest in signing the right-back and have already opened talks. The negotiations are now said to have reached an advanced stage. Transfer expert Matteo Moretto also reports that Couto is now “open to a move.”

However, a transfer is proving complicated. Dortmund are reportedly demanding between 20 and 25 million euros in transfer fee for the wide player, who was only signed permanently from Manchester City last year. According to current information, Como cannot afford that amount. Therefore, a loan deal is currently considered the most likely scenario.

BVB open to loan deal for Yan Couto

According to Sky, only a loan deal seems possible for the Italian top-flight club. It is a model that Borussia Dortmund also apparently does not fundamentally rule out. Since Couto does not play an indispensable role in the club’s sporting plans, those in charge could be open to a suitable offer.

From a sporting perspective, last season was once again inconsistent for the Brazilian. Although he showed a clear improvement compared to his first year in Dortmund and at times even worked his way into the starting lineup, he was ultimately unable to establish himself ahead of Julian Ryerson in the long term.

Couto barely featured at all, especially in the final weeks of the season. Over the last eight Bundesliga matchdays, he played a total of just eight minutes, and on several occasions he remained an unused substitute on the bench for the full match. At the moment, however, there are many signs that the Brazilian could take his next step away from Dortmund. Whether that ends up being a permanent transfer or initially just a loan move to Lake Como will become clear in the coming weeks.
