Girona defender Yan Couto has admitted he thought he was going to sign for Barcelona before ending up at Manchester City.
Barca were heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian back in 2020 he but ended up heading to the Premier League club instead after Pep Guardiola got in touch.
“After I became champion with Brazil U17, I was sure that I was going to sign for Barça. Then Guardiola called me and things changed,” he said.
Couto signed a five-year contract with the club but has since been sent out on loan to Girona twice and Braga once.
