Real Madrid rule out signing Yan Couto after his game yesterday. The Girona right-back was repeatedly overtaken by Vinícius in the defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu, causing the Manchester City-loan player to lose ground on Madrid’s agenda.
Real Madrid’s top management has the design of the tracks in their hands. On the left, FC Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies is the favorite, which could impact Ferland Mendy’s future. On the right side, Dani Carvajal is undisputed, while Lucas Vázquez could leave as a free agent at the end of the season. However, Yan Couto’s performance in the last game has made his profile less attractive for Madrid.
Yan Couto left many doubts
Vinícius was relentless against Yan Couto throughout the game, making the confrontation a constant nightmare for the Girona side. Despite his good performances under the management of Míchel Sánchez, the fact that his transfer belongs to Manchester City complicates any negotiations with Real Madrid.
According to reports from Bernabéu Digital, Real Madrid have serious doubts about moving forward with Couto’s recruitment. Although the player shone for Girona, his performance against Madrid raises questions about his ability to adapt to the level required by the Whites.
