Braga rival Celtic for Man City fullback Yan Couto

Manchester City fullback Yan Couto is interesting Sporting Braga.

Sky Sports says Braga are showing interest in City's Couto, who is still undecided about a loan move to Celtic despite his VIP treatment at Parkhead on Thursday night.

Couto was in Glasgow to watch Celtic beat Jablonec and qualify for a Europa League playoff against AZ Alkmaar, after an invitation from the Scottish club.

But the Brazilian, who spent last season on loan at Girona, is still considering his options despite Celtic making their interest known several weeks ago.

Ante Posteloglu's side had moved on to other targets but were not prepared to meet Royal Antwerp's valuation of more than £5m for Aurelio Buta.
