Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Couto joined Coritiba's youth setup in 2012, aged ten.[2] In 2019, while still in the youth categories, he was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation 2019" as one of the 60 best young talents of the world.[3]

Promoted to the main squad for the 2020 season, Couto made his senior debut on 21 February, coming on as a first-half substitute for injured Patrick Vieira in a 2–0 Campeonato Paranaense home win against Cianorte.[4]

Manchester City

On 1 March 2020, after being heavily linked to FC Barcelona,[5] Couto agreed to a five-year contract with Premier League side Manchester City, effective as of 1 July.[6] On 25 September, he joined Girona in the Spanish Segunda División on a season-long loan.[7]

International career

Couto was an undisputed starter for the Brazil under-17 football team, playing 20 matches and scoring once before being included in the 23-man list for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[8]
