BVB Lets Go of Million-Euro Transfer Flop For Now with Option to Buy
Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund is sending Brazilian defender Yan Couto to Italian Champions League debutants Como 1907.
BVB confirmed the loan deal on Thursday evening in a brief statement, with the terms of the agreement remaining confidential.
According to consistent media reports, Como will pay a loan fee of around two million euros for the 24-year-old right-back. Furthermore, the club managed by head coach Cesc Fabregas is reportedly set to acquire a purchase option in the region of approximately 20 million euros.
The former Manchester City defender initially joined Dortmund on loan in the summer of 2024, before the Bundesliga club activated a purchase obligation reportedly worth 25 million euros. However, Couto often found himself as the second choice behind Norwegian Julian Ryerson.
