Manchester City man flies to meet new club after deal agreed – Medical this afternoon

\

Yan Couto, a defender for Manchester City, has arrived in Switzerland in order to connect with Borussia Dortmund and join them for the preseason.

According to the journalist Marlon Irlbacher, who gives evidence of the full-back arriving at Zurich Airport prior to his transfer to the Germans being finalised, this is the case.

According to him, Couto is going to go directly to Dortmund’s training camp and become acquainted with his new teammates in Bad Ragaz as they begin their pre-season.

This is supported by Ruhr Nachrichten, which reported that Couto arrived in Switzerland around 10:32 a.m. on Thursday evening German time after departing from Sao Paulo and arriving in Zurich late on Thursday evening.

After that, He was transported to Bad Ragaz by Joel Kunz, the integration officer for Dortmund, and a medical appointment is scheduled to take place this afternoon. At the very latest, it is anticipated that he will be able to join his new teammates on the pitch by Saturday.
Dortmund is required to purchase the defender from Manchester City in the summer of 2025 for a base fee of €25 million. However, Dortmund will initially loan the defender from Manchester City. These bonus payouts are in the “single-digit million range,” according to the announcement.

In order to bring an end to his tenure at Manchester City, which began four years ago when he joined from FC Coritiba in Brazil, the defender will sign a long-term deal with the club, most likely until 2029. This will bring an end to his time at Manchester City.
