Man City signing Yan Couto reveals clause that could double his transfer fee

Yan Couto has revealed the fee Manchester City paid to sign him from Coritiba will double if he plays a certain number of games in five years.

The 17-year-old right-back will join the Premier League side later this year after agreeing to a five-year contract in March.

City agreed to pay the Brazilian side an initial fee of €6 million (£5m/$7m) to land Couto, but they could end up having to pay twice as much if he does enough to make it into the first-team.
