During an interview with Catalunya Radio (via Diario AS), Couto made no secret of his desire to join Real Madrid at some stage.
“Is Real Madrid a real option or not? Well, yes, yes, I think so, if they’re interested. I’m not going to lie here.”

This could especially be the case if Xabi Alonso arrives, as he has adopted a 3-4-3 at Bayer Leverkusen – a system that Couto has excelled in at Girona.
