Manchester City defender Yan Couto is set to undergo a medical at Borussia Dortmund, in what is believed to be a deal worth €25 million with add-ons. The young right-back has accepted a contract proposal from the Bundesliga club and is expected to join after completing the medical tests. Couto’s move to Dortmund signifies another success for Manchester City in terms of financial gains and showcases the City Football Group’s coaching standards in developing young talent.
After agreeing to a five-year deal with Manchester City in 2020, Couto did not make a senior competitive debut for the club. His impending move to Borussia Dortmund comes after a successful loan spell at Girona where he helped them achieve Champions League football. The deal is yet to be finalized, with only the ‘final details’ left to be resolved between the two clubs regarding the structure of the agreement and payment terms.
While Couto’s transfer to Dortmund is close to completion, it highlights another pathway for young players to reach the top of the game through the City Football Group. Despite not featuring for Manchester City’s first team, Couto’s move represents a significant financial gain for the club and allows them to reinvest funds elsewhere. The Brazilian right-back’s journey from City to Dortmund showcases the opportunities provided within the footballing network of the City Football Group.
