In the past few days, FC Barcelona has received an unexpected market offer for the upcoming season. It involves Brazilian player Yan Couto, currently at Borussia Dortmund, who has expressed his willingness to join the blue and maroon team in the summer of 2025. The right-back, who shone last season at Girona, has not been able to establish himself at the German club, where his performance fell well below expectations.

Couto was signed by Dortmund for close to 30 million euros, a significant investment that has not paid off. Therefore, the German team is already working on his departure and would not object to parting ways with the defender for a significantly lower price, estimated between 10 and 12 million euros. An operation that could prove very interesting for Barcelona.

Barcelona would benefit in every aspect

Yan Couto's profile was already positively assessed by Deco last season, when the Brazilian player stood out at Montilivi under Míchel's guidance. His speed, dynamism, and offensive mindset made him one of the most promising full-backs in LaLiga. Furthermore, the current Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick, has requested reinforcements for the right flank, an area where they have struggled for consistency.

The option to sign a young player with experience in the Spanish league at a reasonable cost aligns perfectly with the sporting policy of the Catalan club. While official negotiations have not started, the offer has already reached the Camp Nou offices, and it is not unlikely that Barça will pursue this opportunity once the summer transfer market opens. Yan Couto desires a return to LaLiga, and Barcelona could be his next destination.
