Borussia Dortmund has initiated discussions with Manchester City regarding the potential transfer of right-back Yan Couto. While Dortmund is keen on acquiring Couto, they are negotiating the price as they are not willing to meet the €40 million release clause. Instead, BVB plans to invest around €20-25 million, as reported by Sky Sport DE.
Couto, 22, had an impressive loan spell at Girona last season, helping the team secure a third-place finish in La Liga and qualify for the Champions League. Despite previously being seen as a long-term successor to Kyle Walker at Manchester City, the club is now open to offloading the Brazilian defender.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Couto is interested in making the move to Dortmund. This transfer could be a significant step for the young defender as he continues to build his career in Europe.
