OM Mercato: Yan Couto on his way to Spain
Eager to strengthen the right lane of its defense during this summer transfer window, OMe has explored several avenues internally. And one of them led to Yan Couto. The Brazilian side right comes out of a mixed season at SC Braga, scoring 1 goal and 3 assists in 28 games. Loaned to the Portuguese club, the Brazilian defender returned to Manchester City where he does not fit into the plans for Pep Guardiola.
In difficulty among the Cityzens, Yan Couto was therefore looking for a new way out during this summer transfer window. Several European clubs looking for defensive reinforcements have thus filed in order to snatch his signature. In addition to FC Porto, Olympique de Marseille would also have produced the revelations with its representatives in order to attract it into its nets this summer. But a priori, the 20-year-old player will not be packing his bags in Marseille this summer. Tied to Manchester City until June 2025, Yan Couto Should eventually rebound in Spain.
OM Mercato: Total agreement between Yan Couto and Girona FC
Indeed, according to the information revealed by the Spanish journalist Jorge Nicolas, the Brazilian defender would have concluded a total agreement with the FC Girona. The case would already be folded between the different parties. After a season at SC Braga, Yan Couto is therefore preparing to discover the Spanish Liga next season. According to the source, he is set to join the Catalan club on a one-season loan. This transfer to Spain will thus be an opportunity for him to gain experience and progress more quickly on new lands. While OM has already engaged the services of a new lateral right, in the person of Jonathan Clauss.
