Yan Couto nearing loan move from Borussia Dortmund to Como

Borussia Dortmund defender Yan Couto is reportedly close to finalizing a loan move to Serie A club Como 1907. After weeks of complex negotiations, Dortmund and Como have reached a basic agreement on the loan terms, with discussions ongoing about a potential purchase option. Previous reports indicated that the transfer had stalled due to financial disagreements between the clubs, but those issues seem to have been resolved. Couto is expected to gain more playing time in Italy, where his skills as an attacking right-back could be beneficial. The completion of the transfer depends on settling remaining contractual details.
