According to an authoritative report by Sky Sports Germany's Patrick Berger, Borussia Dortmund FC and Manchester City FC have reached a comprehensive agreement on the transfer of young Brazilian right-back Jan Cotto. The news was further confirmed by renowned transfer journalist Romano, who announced the imminent completion of the deal with his trademark "Here we go".
Jan Cotto's transfer has reportedly received all the necessary approvals and he is expected to depart from Brazil tomorrow and fly to Switzerland in order to join Borussia Dortmund's training camp. There, he will undergo the necessary medical procedures to make the final preparations to officially join Dortmund.
The latest news from Romano suggests that Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City will officially sign the transfer papers to complete the highly anticipated deal in the next 24 to 48 hours. Jan Cotto will join Dortmund on loan, but the contract includes a mandatory buyout clause worth €25 million. This means that if Jan Cotto performs up to expectations at Dortmund, Dortmund will have to pay that fee to sign the young defender permanently.
In addition, Jan Cotto and Dortmund will sign a five-year contract, which shows Dortmund's long-term plan and confidence in him. As a young and full of potential player, Jan Cotto's joining will undoubtedly inject new energy and strength into Dortmund's backline.
