After a great season with Girona, Yan Couto was targeted by several European teams. The Brazilian international (4 caps), under contract with Manchester City, had been ardently coveted by Borussia Dortmund for a few weeks. This Saturday morning, the Ruhr club made official the arrival of the 22-year-old right defender in the form of a loan. An exciting arrival for the Marsupials who are strengthening themselves in a position where they have not had a player of this quality since Achraf Hakimi.

Asked about his choice by the BVB media, Yan Couto expressed his joy at the idea of joining Signal Iduna Park: “For me, it’s a dream come true. Borussia Dortmund is a very special club. Every child in Brazil knows the greatness of this club, knows its fans and is fascinated by the yellow wall. I can’t wait to wear the BVB jersey for the first time and feel the power and emotions in this beautiful stadium.» The excitement is shared in Dortmund following the arrival of Yan Couto!
