After Couto exit, BVB fans make transfer wish clear | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund and Yan Couto are going their separate ways with immediate effect. BVB fans have reacted very differently to the news – and many are already making clear demands of the club’s management.

Yan Couto’s departure has sparked mixed reactions among Borussia Dortmund fans. After BVB officially announced the Brazilian’s loan move to Italian top-flight side Como 1907, numerous supporters shared their views on social media. While many wished the full-back all the best for the future, others are already hoping for further new signings.

In particular, many BVB fans regretted that Couto never really managed to establish himself in Dortmund. “Such promising signs, and I was so hyped about the transfer. All the best and obrigado, Yan!” one supporter wrote. Another showed understanding for the sporting situation: “Good player who unfortunately never really felt the coach’s trust.”

Many fans pointed in the comments to the strong competition at right-back as the main reason for Couto’s difficult spell at BVB. “Unfortunately, he had no chance behind Julian Ryerson, who was just brutal last season. But in my opinion, partly because of Couto. Competition makes you stronger! Good luck and enjoy the game time,” one comment read.

BVB fans want transfers for El Mala and Sancho

Alongside their farewell messages, many fans immediately shifted their focus to further squad planning. Reinforcements in attack were mentioned especially often. “Right, and now finally El Mala and Jadon,” one fan wrote. Another put even more pressure on the club’s management: “These fans do so much for this club. Everyone has wanted Sancho for months. Please finally grant us this one wish.”

Some supporters also see a need for action at right-back following Couto’s departure. “Two more wingers still need to come in. And ideally, develop another RB from the youth setup so Ryerson can finally get some rest. A real RB,” demanded one BVB fan.

Despite a few critical voices, the comments were mostly filled with good wishes for Couto. “Hopefully this will do him good. I only wish him the best,” one supporter wrote. Another briefly summed up his hopes with Como’s purchase option in mind: “Play well so they buy you.”

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Como are paying around two million euros for the one-year loan. In addition, the Italian top-flight club are said to have secured a purchase option worth more than 20 million euros.
