BVB scouting in Brazil: Kauã Prates under the spotlight | OneFootball

There are still just under two and a half months until the start of the winter transfer period. Whether Borussia Dortmund will be active at that time is currently uncertain. Regardless, BVB is currently being linked with a number of players from both domestic and international sources, particularly young talents that fit Borussia's philosophy.

Last weekend, according to Brazilian journalist Samuel Venancio, BVB scouts reportedly attended the match between Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte and Fortaleza Esporte Clube, which the hosts won 1-0 in the Brazilian Série A.

Also usable as a central defender

The focus of Dortmund's observers was reportedly on Cruzeiro's left-back Kauã Prates. The 17-year-old was allowed to play for the first time since mid-September and was in the starting eleven for only the third time on matchday 29. Nevertheless, the five-time U17 national player of Brazil has apparently already caught BVB's attention, prompting Dortmund officials to take a closer look at the youngster.

The results of the scouting tour are not yet known. It is only known that Kauã Prates, who can also be used as a central defender, was substituted after 63 minutes, but his profile as a flexible defensive player would fundamentally fit into the squad.

Whether the interest will materialize remains to be seen. In any case, Kauã Prates would hardly be an immediate help in the January transfer window, but rather a player with potential.
