Borussia dortmund sporting director

Borussia Dortmund Sporting Director: Borussia Dortmund have signed Brazil defender Yan Couto on loan until June 2025 from Manchester City on Saturday. "In the event that certain sporting criteria are fulfilled in the coming season, all parties have also agreed on a permanent transfer following the loan period," the Bundesliga club said in a statement.

Couto, who made his debut for Brazil in October 2023 and has played four games for his country, spent the last two seasons on loan at La Liga side Girona. He established himself as one of the best full backs in Spain (59 La Liga games, 2 goals, 12 assists) as his club finished a surprising third in the 2023/24 season.

The 22-year-old travelled from Sao Paulo to Zurich on Friday and underwent a medical in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland, where Borussia Dortmund are currently having their summer training camp. Couto will wear No.2 for BVB, and he trains with his new teammates for the first time on Saturday.
