He fell in love and took Girona to the Champions League and now he is going to Cesc Fàbregas’s Como

He Like 1907 will play the Champions League for the first time in its history. It will do so thanks to the role of Cesc Fabregas on the bench, which has completely changed the face of the club since his arrival in 2022, first as a player and then directly as a coach.

Playing in the top European competition requires quality signings and that is what the club is working on. The last one to arrive was Yan Couto (24 years old). The Brazilian, called ‘strawberry’ during his time at the Catalan club because of his hair color, made the ‘blanc i vermella’ fans fall in love with him. He spent three seasons, one in the Second Division, but the best was the one in which he was an important part of the team ending up going to the Champions League. He gave 8 assists and scored a goal. His ball delivery, his dribbles and his runs up the right wing are history of Montilivi.

He was on loan from Manchester City, a club he returned to, but they did not have him and transferred him for around 20 million to Borussia Dortmund. He seemed made to play in the Bundesliga, but for one reason or another he hasn’t quite fit in. His level has been below expectations, he has never ended up being an undisputed starter and he has stopped being international for Brazil.

He arrives at Como on loan for one season with a purchase option for 20 million euros. This is a more offensive profile than Van der Brempt, the other player who is usually playing in the right sector.
