🤝 Dortmund seal deal for Serie A giant’s starlet, claims Romano | OneFootball

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 Cruzeiro a fixed fee of 7 million euros, plus another 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 young star will only officially join the German team in August, right after he turns 18.

Having come up through Cruzeiro’s youth academy, Kauã Prattes made his professional debut in 2025, racking up 12 appearances.

In 2026, he earned the trust of coach Tite, establishing himself as Kaiki’s backup at left-back and making his mark with a goal in the State Championship.

The interest from Germany is not new, as Borussia has been following the player’s progress since October.

Earlier this month, director Bruno Spindel had already explained that negotiations with Dortmund were underway, depending only on a few details.

“It’s a deal that’s down to bureaucratic details. If, and I believe it will be finalized, he will only transfer on August 12th, when he turns 18,” he said.

The executive also revealed that the deal could go down in the club’s history, potentially becoming Cruzeiro’s biggest ever sale.

“This deal 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 is positioning itself this way in the market. I think the possibility of this transfer becoming the biggest is important and will help consolidate Cruzeiro where the fans deserve.”
