Officially, he is not yet with Borussia Dortmund. Unofficially, however, the young Brazilian top talent Kauã Prates has already provided at least two telling hints that it will happen.
According to various reports, the left-back will move from Cruzeiro to the Bundesliga in the summer and sign a contract until 2031. Managing Director Carsten Cramer recently confirmed to the Ruhr Nachrichten that the signing could happen soon and that Prates is a player "we are dealing with."
On Instagram, the 17-year-old himself provided two small clues suggesting that the signing is just a formality. For one, he posted a story from an airplane—adorned with a bee emoji, which is hardly coincidentally reminiscent of Dortmund's mascot Emma.

Additionally, Kauã Prates seems eager to finally play for BVB. Under a post about the Bundesliga match against Mainz, published by his presumed future teammate Waldemar Anton, the left-back commented with a flame and a muscle emoji.

It certainly sounds like he is already looking forward to playing in the Signal Iduna Park in front of the Yellow Wall.
At BVB, the top talent is expected to develop calmly and is considered a possible long-term solution for the left defensive side of the Black and Yellows.
