Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Yan Couto is now looking ‘very likely’ to join Braga on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old Brazilian is yet to make a first-team appearance for Man City; the youngster spent last season on loan at Spanish club Girona and made 30 appearances, scoring twice and then assisting five time for the Liga2 side.
Manchester City are keen on getting the player, who is under contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2025, more first team football.
With Cancelo and Walker ahead of him at City, it is highly unlikely that Pep Guardiola will see him as a first-team option for a couple of seasons at least.
But the Brazilian right-back is still considering his options despite Celtic making their interest known several weeks ago.
According to Sky Sports, Manchester City’s Yan Couto is now ‘looking very likely’ to join S.C. Braga on a season-long loan from the Premier League champions, with talks between the two clubs labelled as ‘ongoing’.
They say Couto was unconvinced by Celtic after watching their Uefa Europa League qualifier with Jablonec last week, and that Braga have now made a loan bid that would interest him far more.
Couto has been backed for a huge future and has already shown potential as a quick and attack-minded right back.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted attention from some club’s supporters, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts and opinions.
Great loan plus European football.
