BVB sign Yan Couto

Borussia Dortmund have strengthened their squad with the Brazilian full-back Yan Couto (22). BVB and Couto’s former club Manchester City have agreed on a loan until 30 June 2025. 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.

Couto, who made his debut for Brazil in October 2023 and has played 4 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 number 2 for BVB, and he trains with his new teammates for the first time today.

Lars Ricken, Borussia Dortmund Managing Director for Sport, said: “Yan Couto was on our radar even before he won the U17 World Cup with Brazil in 2019. He has the potential to be a very special player, with outstanding pace, technique and creativity – he’s the kind of player fans come to watch. He’s very young with a lot still to learn, but we’re confident that he can follow in the footsteps of special Brazilian players like Júlio César, Dedé and Márcio Amoroso at Dortmund.”

Sebastian Kehl, Borussia Dortmund Sporting Director, said: “Yan Couto is a very exciting player. He gets up and down the wing, and he combines exceptional energy with intensity, technical finesse and dribbling skills. Yan is versatile, he loves 1-v-1s, he can hit accurate crosses and he’s very attack-minded. His development in Spain was remarkable, and yet he has lots of potential to go even further, which makes him exactly what we wanted for this position. We’re delighted that we were able to convince him to be part of our journey.”

“For me it’s a dream come true. Borussia Dortmund is a special club. Every child in Brazil knows how great this club is, knows the fans, and is fascinated by the Yellow Wall”, said Yan Couto. He went on to say: “I can’t wait to wear the BVB shirt for the first time and experience the power and emotions in this brilliant stadium.”

What did you think? \n <\/b>"Some had good performances, especially the coaches and the staff. Of the players, I liked Waldemar Anton the best. He rapped a bit; that was funny. Paris and Yan were good too."<\/p>\nYou're now in Bad Ragaz for the third time. What do you remember about your first training camp? \n <\/b>"I was only 16 years old. It was in 2021, after the lockdown. I was allowed to take part as a young player, but I unfortunately sustained an injury in a friendly match. My ankle. The fact that I'm here now and not injured is a blessing."<\/p>\nLet's focus on the now. How do you assess the training camp to date? \n <\/b>"I'm delighted to be here. We've mainly focused on tactical things on the ball, which means not only having to work hard physically but also having to absorb a lot mentally. But day by day, we're making progress and learning quickly. Up until now, it's been really good and has been fun."<\/p>\nWhat have you focused on in tactical terms? \n <\/b>"We've mainly concentrated on passing, passing patterns, passing triangles and also one-twos. In addition, we've trained defending against a high press as a team, which is important."<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/08/07/interview-gittens/Training-Bynoe-Gittens.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Training-Bynoe-Gittens-1722974105763\"><\/p>\nWhat role do you play on the pitch? \n <\/b>"I'm on the ball to make something happen but also to play simply. Not to dribble into any spaces. Simple passes, strong pressing, good defending and patience when I press."<\/p>\nFrom the outside, the training sessions seem to be very intense. How does it feel on the pitch? \n <\/b>"Also very intense. We run a lot, but there is also a certain relaxedness. We have fun with each other on the pitch, that helps us."<\/p>\nWhat's your take on Nuri Sahin? \n <\/b>"Nuri is a brilliant coach. Above all, he helps me and the team a great deal. He holds a lot of private talks about what I can improve and also about what I do well. It's good to know what I can still learn."<\/p>\nThere's a lot of work at the training camp. What do you like doing away from the pitch? \n <\/b>"Then I go to the spa, to the sauna or to the ice bath. I simply rest and relax."<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/08/07/interview-gittens/Bynoe-Gittens-Training.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Bynoe-Gittens-Training-1722974085661\"><\/p>\nAfter two injury-plagued seasons, you were injury-free last season and made 25 appearances across the 34 matches. How do you assess the season personally? \n <\/b>"For me personally, it's another step forward. To be available and not to be injured for the majority of the matches. That's a big thing because when you're available, you can always play. I learned a lot throughout the season, namely to be patient, to learn from others when I play and to wait my turn." <\/p>\nWhat are your objectives for the coming season? \n <\/b>"To be available once again and not to have any injuries. I go to the gym as often as possible in order to have fewer injuries. I would like to score more goals and get more goals and assists than last season. And hopefully we will win a title as a team."<\/p>\nDo you think you'll make your breakthrough as a first-team regular this season? \n<\/b>"You never know what will happen. But I'm confident and I'd like to say yes."<\/p>\nIn the future, you will only wear the name "Gittens" and not "Bynoe-Gittens" on the back of your shirt. Why? \n <\/b>"Both are the names of my father, but he said that he thinks it's better if I'm only called Gittens because it's shorter..
