Barcelona interested in Brazilian starlet

At 17 years old, Yan Couto can boast to having attracted the attention of 2 big European clubs... and there will be more. Because he is becoming more and more popular amongst European clubs.

According to 'Globoesporte', Barcelona are the latest club to set their eyes on Yan Couto, the RB for Coritiba's youth side. The source even goes as far as saying that negotiations between the sides have started.

Barcelona's negotiations are "at a very advanced stage". According to the aforementioned source, Barca are willing to pay 5 million euros for the young defender.

Yan Couto wouldn't sign for Barcelona until the summer. At that moment, the player will be over 18.

'Globoesporte' put Yan Couto very closely to Barca. This same source assured a few days ago that Arsenal could be his next destination. Now, however, Barca's interest has made the future of this Brazilian starlet change.

In any case, there is still nothing official. Europe reaches out to Yan Couto. Meanwhile, the footballer continues to gain experience in Coritiba, unaware of the fight of the European greats for his services.
