Yan Couto joins Como on loan from Borussia Dortmund until the season ends, while his BVB contract remains valid through June 2030.
Yan Couto is moving from Borussia Dortmund to Como 1907 on loan. Borussia Dortmund confirmed that the Brazilian defender will join the Italian first-division club, a Champions League participant, with immediate effect until the end of the season.
The move gives Como a defender from a Borussia Dortmund squad while keeping the arrangement temporary. Couto remains under contract with BVB through June 30, 2030.
Loan move confirmed by Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund’s announcement confirms the loan and its immediate start. It also confirms that the agreement runs until the end of the season, with Couto joining Como from the Bundesliga club.
Both clubs agreed not to disclose the terms of the loan. That means the official announcement does not set out the financial structure of the arrangement or any further conditions attached to the move.
Supplementary reports have described a loan fee of around €2 million and a purchase option of more than €20 million. Those figures were not disclosed by Dortmund or Como in the official confirmation.
What the deal means for Como
Como are identified by Dortmund as an Italian first-division club and Champions League participant. The loan brings Couto into Como’s squad for the remainder of the season while leaving his longer-term Borussia Dortmund contract in place.
The arrangement provides Como with an immediate addition from Dortmund without changing the fact that Couto is contracted to BVB until 2030. For Dortmund, the loan creates a defined period away from the club while preserving Couto’s existing contract status.
The official confirmation is focused on the transfer itself: Couto is moving to Como, the move takes effect immediately, and it will last until the end of the season. The clubs have not publicly detailed the loan terms.
Couto’s comments on the move
In comments reported alongside the transfer announcement, Couto said he was happy to join Como. He said he liked the team’s playing style and philosophy, hoped to help the team improve, and viewed the move as an important step in his career.
Those comments place the focus on his arrival at Como and the opportunity presented by the loan. The transfer is now confirmed as an immediate move from Borussia Dortmund to the Italian club.
The confirmed next step
Couto will spend the rest of the season at Como under the terms confirmed by Borussia Dortmund. His contract with BVB remains valid through June 30, 2030, while the clubs’ decision not to disclose the loan terms leaves the financial details outside the official announcement.
For now, the central facts are clear: the Brazilian defender has left Borussia Dortmund on loan, Como are his destination, and the move is effective immediately through the end of the season.
