🤝 Dortmund agree deal for Serie A giant’s starlet, claims Romano

If the transfer wizard has spoken, it's settled!

Kauã Prattes will be a Borussia Dortmund player!

According to the journalist, the German club will pay 7 million euros fixed to Cruzeiro, with an additional 5 million in bonuses for the young left-back, who underwent medical exams this Tuesday (17th).

Due to FIFA regulations that block international transfers of minors, the celestial gem will only officially join the German team in August, right after turning 18.

Revealed in Cruzeiro's youth categories, Kauã Prattes made his professional debut in 2025, accumulating 12 appearances.

In 2026, he gained the trust of coach Tite, establishing himself as Kaiki's backup on the flank and leaving his mark with a goal in the State Championship.

The interest from Germany is longstanding, as Borussia has been following the player's development since October.

Earlier this month, director Bruno Spindel had already explained that the negotiation with Dortmund was underway, depending only on details.

“It's a negotiation that is down to bureaucratic details. If, and I understand it should be finalized, he will only transfer on August 12th, when he turns 18,” he said.

The director also revealed that the deal has the potential to make history for the club, possibly becoming the biggest sale ever made by Cruzeiro.

“This negotiation has the potential, over time, to become the biggest transfer in Cruzeiro's history. It shows the greatness of the club, one of the most successful in Brazil and South America, and the club also positions itself this way in the market. I think this transfer becoming the biggest is something important and will consolidate Cruzeiro where the fans deserve.”
