Borussia Dortmund, a club from the German Bundesliga, has decided to exercise its option to buy right-back Yan Couto from Manchester City permanently.

The 22-year-old Brazilian joined Dortmund on a season-long loan in the summer with an option to buy.

The deal has now been triggered. With the Black and Yellows set to pay €30m. To make Couto a permanent player. According to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano.

Couto played a big role in the La Liga club qualifying for the Champions League. For the first time in their history as the Brazilian star produced one goal and 10 assists across 34 league appearances. His time in Spain attracted clubs such as Dortmund. And it was not a surprise to see a big team make a move for the defender ahead of the current season.

But why have BVB activated the obligation to buy clause in Couto’s loan contract in October. When many things can still go wrong throughout the rest of the campaign?

Fabrizio Romano explains that this was already part of the agreement as Borussia Dortmund were always going to trigger the obligation to buy. Clause as it was already guaranteed in the pact with Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Germany’s โปรโมชั่น ufabet Sport says Couto will earn €4m a year with his contract running until June 2029.

Yan Couto has now played 7 matches in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund, making 1 assist.
