Yan Couto

In September 2026, reports confirmed Yan Couto's loan to Como includes a purchase option of €22 million. This followed August 2026 reports which detailed the loan fee as €2-3 million and the purchase option as being between 'over €20m' and €22 million. During negotiations in July 2026, the option was frequently cited at €20 million, while it was also noted Dortmund sought a fee comparable to the €25 million they paid for him. In April 2026, his Transfermarkt value was reported as €20 million. The player's move from Manchester City to Borussia Dortmund in July 2025 was for a reported fee of €25 million.

Our valuation is driven by the consistently reported purchase option included in Yan Couto's August 2026 loan move from Borussia Dortmund to Como. This option, valued at €22 million, represents a concrete, recently negotiated future transfer fee. The figure is slightly below the €25 million Dortmund paid in 2025, reflecting his challenging period in Germany, and aligns with his market value reported in April 2026.
