Man City locked in talks with Borussia Dortmund over potential £25m sale of forgotten defender who has never played for the club

Manchester City expect an offer of around £25m from Borussia Dortmund for full-back Yan Couto as talks continue over a potential deal.

The 22-year-old joined from Brazilian side Coritiba in 2020, but has never made an appearance for the Premier League champions.

In the last four years, he has had two separate loan spells at Girona either side of a stint at Portuguese outfit Braga.

City signed the young defender off the back of him winning the Under 17 World Cup with Brazil in 2019, but he has failed to make the breakthrough into their first team, and has become a forgotten name at the Etihad.
