Club career

[edit]

Coritiba

[edit]

Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Couto joined Coritiba's youth setup in 2012, aged ten.[2] In 2019, while still in the youth categories, he was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation 2019" as one of the 60 best young talents of the world.[3]

Promoted to the main squad for the 2020 season, Couto made his senior debut on 21 February, coming on as a first-half substitute for injured Patrick Vieira in a 2–0 Campeonato Paranaense home win against Cianorte.[4]

Manchester City

[edit]

On 1 March 2020, after being heavily linked to Barcelona,[5] Couto agreed to a five-year contract with Premier League side Manchester City, effective as of 1 July.[6] On 25 September, he joined Girona in the Spanish Segunda División on a season-long loan.[7]

Couto was named as a substitute by Pep Guardiola in City's 1–0 defeat to Leicester City at Wembley Stadium in the 2021 FA Community Shield, his only first team involvement for the club to date.[8]

Loan to Braga

[edit]

Couto spent the 2021–22 season on loan at Portuguese side Braga.

Loan to Girona

[edit]

On 25 July 2022, Couto returned to Girona on a one-year loan deal, with the club in La Liga.[9]

On 14 July 2023, Couto returned to Girona for a third spell, signing on loan until the end of the 2023–24 season.[10]

Loan to Borussia Dortmund

[edit]

On 3 August 2024, Couto joined Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund on loan for the 2024–25 season, with a buy option clause that could be automatically triggered given certain playing criteria.[11]

Borussia Dortmund

[edit]

On 10 October 2024, Couto’s €30 million release clause was triggered by Borussia Dortmund.[12]

International career

[edit]

Couto was an undisputed starter for the Brazil under-17 football team, playing 20 matches and scoring once before being included in the 23-man list for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[13]

Yan Couto was called up to the senior squad for the first time on 6 October 2023, replacing the injured Vanderson, for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Venezuela and Uruguay on 12 and 17 October, respectively.[14]

In June 2024, Couto revealed that he had changed from his pink hairdo in Girona to his natural hair color upon a request in the national team.[15]
