Double Brazilian fullbacks for Como
In addition to Couto, Como are also closing in on the signing of left back Kaiki from Cruzeiro for a fee of €14 million. The deal is described as almost done, with both Brazilian fullbacks set to join the Italian club.

Kaiki, 21, has been a regular for Cruzeiro in the Brazilian league and is seen as a promising talent for the left back position. The €14m transfer fee reflects his potential and the club's investment in young Brazilian players.
