Manchester City have received an early boost to their 2025 transfer planning, with a guaranteed £25m for defender Yan Couto.
Manchester City's transfer budget will be boosted by £25m after clauses inserted into Yan Couto 's loan at Borussia Dortmund were triggered to make the move permanent at the end of the season.
Couto, 22, signed for City from Curitiba in 2019 for an initial £5.5m, before he spent time on loan at Girona, Braga, and then Girona again for two seasons. He often expressed a desire to play for City under Pep Guardiola but only managed friendly appearances during his time at the club.

That means City will pocket around €30m in the summer to kick-start their 2025 business, giving City a healthy £20m profit on a player who never featured in a competitive game. The Blues also have a substantial sell-on clause in the deal which could be as high as 20 per cent.
