Yan Couto reveals: his son dreams of a career at BVB | OneFootball

After his move to Borussia Dortmund, Yan Couto has not only found his footing on the pitch, but has also inspired his family to become passionate BVB supporters. In particular, his son Théo is already dreaming of one day playing in the black and yellow jersey himself.

Yan Couto has quickly settled in both professionally and personally at Borussia Dortmund. Since his transfer in the summer of 2024, the Brazilian right-back has not only been wearing the black and yellow jersey himself—enthusiasm for BVB has now become omnipresent in his family as well. Especially his son Théo has developed a close connection to the club.

In an interview with Ruhr Nachrichten, Couto shared how intensely his son follows the club. After his wife and Théo followed him to Germany, their excitement grew rapidly. “He fell in love with the club,” the 23-year-old says. The boy’s daily life is now heavily influenced by Borussia Dortmund, because: “Every day he talks about Borussia.”

The fascination goes even further. During away games, Théo sits attentively in front of the screen and begins to dream. “When we have an away game, he watches a bit and already starts imagining himself playing for BVB,” Couto says with a laugh. A potential future footballer in the Couto household? At least the dream is already there.

Coach Niko Kovac commented on the happy occasion, saying: “Born in Dortmund, on December 19—things couldn’t have gone better.”

The fact that the family feels comfortable in the Ruhr region completes the picture. “We really feel very much at home in Dortmund,” Couto emphasizes.
