Talks ongoing – BVB working on signing Kauã Prates

Borussia Dortmund has been repeatedly linked with Kauã Prates for several months now. It appears that BVB is now pushing to sign the 17-year-old Brazilian from Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte.

According to internationally well-connected transfer insider Nicolo Schira, negotiations are underway between BVB and Cruzeiro regarding a transfer for Kauã Prates, who has more than hinted at his potential in his first 13 appearances for the first team of the Brazilian giants and has already been valued at six million euros by “transfermarkt.de” for good reason.

Almugera Kabar likely on the way out

Since Kauã Prates still has a contract running until the end of 2027, a signing would presumably not come cheap for BVB. However, this personnel matter is likely to move to the agenda only in the summer. That’s because, according to regulations, a move to Europe is only possible once Kauã Prates celebrates his 18th birthday in August—barring any potential loopholes.

The efforts to sign Kauã Prates can also be seen as a sign that Almugera Kabar, who was recently linked with Hamburger SV, no longer has a future at BVB for the time being. The 2023 U17 World Cup winner is considered a candidate for a transfer, possibly even this winter. With Daniel Svensson, Ramy Bensebaini, and potentially Julian Ryerson, coach Niko Kovac would have enough alternatives for the left side for the second half of the season, even without Kauã Prates and Kabar.
