Como 1907's purchase option

According to WAZ, Como have already told Dortmund they are very pleased with the Brazilian's performances so far. Couto has played more than 1,000 minutes in 14 competitive appearances for Como, providing two assists.
Asked about a possible return or a permanent stay in Italy, Ole Book said: "It's certainly too early for that, but we're pleased he's playing well."
