Yan Couto, born on 3 June 2002 (age 24), is a Brazilian right-back with Como. A compact defender at 5ft 6in (1.68m), he is the sort of modern full-back whose value is tied as much to what he gives in possession as to the basic defending, though the basics still tend to decide most careers.
His most productive league season came with Borussia Dortmund in 2025–26, when he scored two goals in 19 appearances. That gave him a clearer senior platform in Germany before his move into Italian football with Como.
In 2026–27, Couto has made five Serie A appearances for Como. His market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt. At 24, his career is still taking shape: Brazil, Dortmund, and now Como, with enough on his record to explain the attention without requiring much embroidery.
