Key stats
As a key creative force for one of La Liga's leading lights in 2023/24 and a fully-fledged member of the Seleção, Dortmund have acquired a proven talent in Yan Couto. He finished the 2023/24 campaign with eight assists in La Liga as Girona finished third, with no defender in the Spanish top flight claiming more.
Couto inspired Brazil's U17s to World Cup glory in 2019 and later provided his first assist in the famous yellow as Brazil beat Mexico 3-2 in a friendly match in June 2024. Couto has therefore confirmed the kind of immense promise that made Manchester City - and former Bayern coach Pep Guardiola - sign him from FC Coritiba in his homeland in 2020.
