Real Madrid’s Change of Heart Over Top Man City Prospect Leaves Fans Puzzled. The Spanish giants were reportedly interested in signing a certain City youngster. But after Vinicius Junior’s recent performance, everything seems to have changed. Was this a business decision or something more personal? And what does it mean for the future of both players? Stay tuned to find out more!

Real Madrid have reportedly opted against pursuing a summer transfer for Manchester City’s Yan Couto, citing a compelling rationale. Despite his promising talent at 21, Couto has yet to make a senior appearance for Pep Guardiola’s squad since his arrival in 2020. Instead, he gained valuable playing time on loan spells with Braga in Portugal and Girona in LaLiga. After a stint with Girona and then Braga, he returned to Girona for the current season. The Brazilian defender, with two international caps to his name, has been instrumental in Girona’s LaLiga campaign, featuring in 23 out of 24 matches and contributing with a goal and six assists. His impactful performances have caught the attention of Real Madrid, particularly as Girona posed a serious challenge to them in the title race. However, Couto faced a tough outing against Real Madrid, visibly struggling against Vinicius Junior in a 4-0 defeat. This display has led to internal doubts at Real Madrid regarding Couto’s suitability for a potential summer move. While media reports initially hinted at Real’s interest in the young full-back as a cost-effective defensive reinforcement, his recent performance has cast uncertainty on this prospect.
