Fresh talks: could Yan Couto yet join Como 1907? | OneFootball

In his two years at Borussia Dortmund, Yan Couto has only managed to meet expectations in isolated matches at best and has not really been able to justify the total €25 million paid to Manchester City in transfer fee and previous loan fee. BVB would therefore 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 conditions are right.

If sold, BVB would want to recoup at least most of the fee they paid themselves, but would also be open to a loan move in which Couto could rebuild his recently fallen market value.

With Como 1907, there has been an interested party for several weeks and, according to Italian transfer insider Gianluca di Marzio, the 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.

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

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