New talks: Yan Couto to Como 1907 after all? | OneFootball

In his two years at Borussia Dortmund, Yan Couto has at best only managed to meet expectations in a few matches and has not really been able to justify the total €25 million paid to Manchester City in transfer fee and prior loan fee. BVB therefore would not stand in the way of a transfer request from the right-back, who is only second choice behind Julian Ryerson in his position, provided the terms are right.

In the event of a sale, BVB would like to recoup at least a large part of the fee they paid themselves, but would also be open to a loan move that could help Couto rebuild his recently diminished market value.

With Como 1907, there has been an interested party for several weeks, and according to Italian transfer insider Gianluca di Marzio, that club is now set to step up its efforts again after just a few days ago it no longer looked like an agreement would be reached.

Como aiming for a loan move

The team that finished fourth in last season’s Serie A, and can tempt players with the prospect of Champions League matches, is said to be pursuing a loan deal according to di Marzio, which would be entirely feasible given Couto’s contract with BVB runs until 2030.

Como are currently said to have made contact again in order to re-enter negotiations. The outcome could also depend on additional clauses such as an option or obligation to buy, although BVB would be unlikely to accept a figure of less than €25 million from a combination of loan fee and fixed transfer fee.
