Overview
- Both clubs confirmed the deal for the 2026/27 season and Como published an official welcome for the 24-year-old right-back.
- Multiple outlets report Como will pay about a €2 million loan fee and hold a purchase option near €20 million though clubs declined to publish terms.
- Couto made 62 competitive appearances for Dortmund but failed to secure an undisputed starting role and saw his minutes fall late last season.
- Como coach Cesc Fàbregas described Couto as a brave, attack-minded fullback who should compete for the club’s starting right-back spot in Serie A and the Champions League.
- The move lets Dortmund free squad space and preserve Couto’s market value under his contract through 2030 while giving the player a chance to rebuild form and play regularly.
