Manchester City loanee Yan Couto has secretly extended his contract at the Etihad Stadium, according to claims from Brazil.
The 22-year-old, who has never made a first-team appearance for Manchester City, has been at the Etihad Stadium since 2020, when the Brazilian full-back moved to east Manchester from Coritiba FC on an initial five-year deal at the age of 17.
Couto spent the 2023/24 season at City Football Group side Girona FC in La Liga, with the defender enjoying his third loan spell at the Catalan club, after previous loans during the 2020/21 and 2022/23 campaigns.
The full-back made 39 appearances and was directly involved in 12 goals for Girona this term, as the Spanish side secured UEFA Champions League football and finished ahead of Atletico Madrid.
The defender’s impressive performances have attracted notable transfer interest, with Real Madrid having been linked with a potential permanent move for the Brazil international, who reportedly has a €40 million price tag.
