Real Madrid is reportedly considering acquiring the services of Yan Couto from Manchester City owing to the situation of his contract at the Etihad Stadium.

This information comes from José Félix Díaz of Spanish news outlet Marca. What exactly is involved in the relationship between Real Madrid and Yan Couto? Let’s delve into the details.

Marca recently reported that Real Madrid was interested in securing the Brazil international to replace Dani Carvajal.

Further details have been brought to light by Díaz himself. According to Bernabeu Digital, Díaz has stated, “At the moment they are seeing that he is a player who is evolving in a brutal way, and that his contractual situation is favourable to try him out.

He has a contract until 2025 with Manchester City. It seems that there has been an attempt at renewal. He likes Real Madrid.”

Couto is currently on loan at Girona, where he has significantly contributed to their success in La Liga this season. However, upon his return to Manchester City this summer, he will have only 12 months remaining on his contract.This is the reason for Real Madrid’s optimism about signing him.

As per our understanding, Couto may seek a move to Real Madrid if they submit a bid, especially considering that Kyle Walker is ahead of him in Manchester City’s pecking order. The 21-year-old has expressed that his dream move is to the Santiago Bernabeu, therefore, a summer deal would not be surprising.

It is important for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola to show Couto that he is an essential part of the team and outline a clear path for him into the first-team. If this does not materialize, it is likely that the £5.5m man will seek an exit from the club.

In conclusion, Real Madrid is considering signing Yan Couto from Manchester City, and with his contract situation, the move could be viewed as plausible. Whether this materializes or not will hinge on various factors, notably, Manchester City’s plans for the talented young player.
