Mauro Couto, birthed on the 15th of November 2005 and hence now 19 years of age, is a product of the tempestuous Portuguese football scene. Born and bred in Portugal, Couto treads the path of a forward, often gracing the pitch as a left-winger for the esteemed Sporting CP team. Despite his relatively petite stature of 5ft 6in (1.7m), he manages to command the field with his agile gameplay, maintaining a sturdy weight of 9st 12lbs (63kg). The young player proudly dons the number 78 jersey.
Naturally, with youth comes potential, and Couto isn't short of it. Presently, his market value hovers around £170K, a figure corroborated by Transfermarkt. At Sporting CP, Couto is tied down to a contract that will see him represent the club at least until the 30th of June 2027, with a span of 2 years and 1 month remaining.
The Portuguese prodigy embarked on his prolific career during the 2022 - 2023 season at Paços de Ferreira in Portugal. Despite being his debut season, Mauro Couto - or 'Mauro Couto' Meireles Couto as he is fondly known - managed to make five appearances with the first team, foreshadowing the marked improvements he had in store.
In the subsequent 2024 - 2025 season, after making the leap to Sporting CP, Couto once again stood out. Although he made only a solitary appearance for the Portuguese giants' first team, that opportunity alone echoed the faith the management had entrusted in their youthful talent.
