Based on Sky Germany's latest update, Borussia Dortmund are demanding a transfer fee of €20 to 25million euros for Yan Couto. 

Only last week, the Brazilian was reportedly linked with a move to Como 1907 who have qualified for next season's Champions League.

However, according to the pay-TV channel, the Serie A outfit coached by Cesc Fàbregas cannot afford a sum of that magnitude.

As a result, it's being suggested that "only a loan is possible" for the high-flying Italian club based in Lombardy. 

This scenario is conceivable for Dortmund, since the right wing-back is not one of their key players under head coach Niko Kovač.

Couto, who joined permanently last year for a total of €25million, is contractually bound to the Black and Yellows until 2030.

Last season, he struggled to regularly keep a starting spot such was the form of Julian Ryerson who delivered 17 assists.
