Juventus will most certainly sign a right-back this summer and plan to pursue Yan Couto, who has been on loan at Girona from Manchester City for the previous two seasons. TuttoSport reported that the young Brazilian had been on their radar before the opportunity to sign Giovanni Di Lorenzo from Napoli arose.

On the other side, the Italian veteran is expected to change his mind and stay put. As a result, the Bianconeri may soon have to focus their attention on other players. After several years of employing 3-5-2, they still do not have an expert.

Yan Couto is presently backing up Danilo for the Seleçao, and Juventus will want to build a tandem in Turin as well. Manchester City demanded €25 million for the 22-year-old. At this point, the Old Lady intends to pursue a loan transaction. He holds a Portuguese passport.

During his stint in La Liga, the teenager scored twice and assisted on 12 occasions. He formerly starred for Braga. In 2020, the City Football Group signed him from Coritiba for €6 million.

Our Perspective on Juventus and Yan Couto

They’ll have to find someone, but they’ve been much more busy on other fronts for the time being, so they may not be looking for a starter or a quality player. Since they have been busier tracking center-backs, the intention appears to be to have Danilo start there, which is questionable at this point in his career. They also have the option of adapting Timothy Weah or relying on a pair of talented young players as the deputy, so they are unlikely to splurge.
