Brazilian full-back travelling to Germany to complete Dortmund move

After initial reports in January suggested that a club-to-club agreement had been reached, Sky Germany now report that the 17-year-old is travelling to Dortmund to undergo his medical and sign his contract. A fee of around €12 million is expected to be paid to Brazilian side Cruzeiro.

Prates is set to sign a deal with the Bundesliga club until 2031. Although he will officially join the Black and Yellows in the summer, he is expected to attend Tuesday’s Champions League fixture against Atalanta.
