Yan Couto joins Como on loan from Borussia Dortmund

Brazilian right‑back Yan Couto, 24, has moved from Borussia Dortmund to Serie A side Como 1907 on a season‑long loan for 2026‑27. Como will pay an estimated €2 million loan fee and hold an option to purchase the player for around €20 million. The transfer follows two years at Dortmund, where Couto struggled for playing time behind Julian Ryerson, making 62 competitive appearances and earning four caps for Brazil. Coach Cesc Fabregas praised Couto’s technical ability and energy, noting the move as a key step in his development. Como, fresh Champions League qualifiers, will face Dortmund in the upcoming European campaign, while Dortmund continue their own Champions League preparations.
