According to 'Ruhr Nachrichten', Kauã Prates is currently undergoing a medical check. The left-back has been in Dortmund since Monday but was initially allowed to recover from the strains of the long flight. If the process proceeds as planned, the 17-year-old will sign a long-term contract with the Black and Yellows afterwards. BVB is reportedly transferring twelve million euros, including bonuses, to Cruzeiro for the youngster.

Globo.com reports that the value in the ongoing negotiations between Kauã Prates and Borussia Dortmund is reaching 12 million euros. Cruzeiro will be entitled to sporting bonuses during the 17-year-old left-back's five-year contract. These bonuses are linked to participation in matches and do not have targets for goals. A guarantee exists for the bonuses to be paid under certain conditions, even if Prates does not play in these games. According to Cruzeiro executive Bruno Spindel, there are no hidden clauses in the bonuses.

The Brazilian media outlet 'Central da Toca' reports that Kauã Prates traveled to Germany on Sunday to undergo a medical examination and finalize contract details with Borussia Dortmund. 'Sky' also reports that the signing is planned for this week. Prates is set to receive a contract at Strobelallee until 2031 and is scheduled to join BVB in the summer after his 18th birthday on August 12. The Bundesliga club is reportedly paying up to twelve million euros to Cruzeiro. This fee reportedly consists of a fixed seven million, with a potential additional five million through bonuses. According to 'Central da Toca', Cruzeiro also secures a resale clause, which would entitle the Brazilian club to a share of the profit if Dortmund sells Prates for a higher amount than the purchase price in the future.

According to the TV channel 'SBT Rio', the Black and Yellows will transfer seven million euros to Cruzeiro, in addition to five million in bonuses. The first half of the fee will be due immediately, a quarter in June 2026, and the final quarter a year later. The 17-year-old left-back will join Niko Kovac's team after his 18th birthday in August.

The transfer of Kauã Prates to Borussia Dortmund is at risk of not being completed. Cruzeiro does not want to sell both of their left-backs, and according to 'Gazzetta dello Sport', the transfer of the club's second left-back, 22-year-old Kaiki, to Como 1907 is close to completion. Borussia Dortmund and Prates had already reached an agreement for a contract until 2031, but the deal was delayed by issues over the transfer fee.

Globo.com reported that Borussia Dortmund's chief sports director, Lars Ricken, admitted the club views Kauã Prates as an interesting player but stated that the position is not currently a priority. Borussia Dortmund signaled a 13 million euro offer to acquire Prates in the mid-year transfer window; however, Cruzeiro chose not to proceed with the negotiation. Prates is 17 years old and came from the youth categories of Cruzeiro. He debuted with the professional team last year, playing 12 matches with the main team in 2025. This year, he has played in the team's two matches in the Campeonato Mineiro.

Kauã Prates and Borussia Dortmund are in agreement on a contract lasting until 2031, with a move from Cruzeiro scheduled for the summer. The two clubs are currently negotiating the transfer fee. According to 'Sky', Borussia Dortmund is offering a total package of twelve million euros, which Cruzeiro is not yet satisfied with. The transfer could be put at risk if Como 1907 intensifies its efforts to sign another player from Cruzeiro, as the club reportedly only wants to allow one of the two left-backs to leave.

Borussia Dortmund have made an offer of 13 million euros to acquire Kauã Prates from Cruzeiro, for a transfer to take place from the mid-year transfer window. According to ge, the offer is for 10 million euros fixed, with an additional 3 million euros in bonuses. Negotiations are ongoing. Kauã Prates cannot yet be transferred to international clubs as he is 17 years old; he will turn 18 in August this year.

According to 'Sky', an agreement has been reached with the player Kauã Prates, who had already made his intention to transfer clear months ago. Dortmund's first offer, according to the pay-TV channel, was just under ten million euros, but it has already been rejected by Cruzeiro. The negotiation is still in its early stages. The clubs could still reach an agreement, provided the Brazilians do not insist on the 60 million euro release clause.

Borussia Dortmund is targeting Kauã Prates from Cruzeiro for the left-back position. According to the Brazilian media platform 'Central da Toca', an initial offer for the 17-year-old was submitted by Borussia Dortmund in recent days. The offered sum is reportedly still significantly below Cruzeiro's expectations. Prates, who has a contract valid until December 2027 with a release clause of 60 million euros, has expressed a clear desire to move to Borussia Dortmund. Cruzeiro's sporting director Joaquim Pinto stated that the club is not in a hurry to sell. Pinto indicated, however, that the player could leave for the right offer, saying they have already received and rejected some offers. He specified that an offer from a world-class club was rejected because they felt it did not do justice to the player's potential.

Prates is on BVB's list. According to reports from his Brazilian homeland, he is eager to move to Dortmund. The player has a release clause of 60 million euros, which Schwarz-Gelb is unlikely to pay. The U17 national player will turn 18 in the summer, at which time his contract will have one and a half years remaining.

Borussia Dortmund officials have been in contact with Kauã Prates for a longer time.

Among the clubs interested in Cruzeiro's 17-year-old Brazilian left-back Kauã Prates, Borussia Dortmund from Germany is considered the leading contender, though he has also received inquiries from other leagues, including LALIGA. According to ESPN, the German club is considered the top priority by the player's staff. The career plan designed for him is reportedly centered on German football. Members of Borussia Dortmund were present at the Mineirão stadium for the Saturday match against Fortaleza to observe the young player. Despite this interest, the German team has not yet formalized an offer. Prates's contract with Raposa runs until 2027 and includes a release clause valued at approximately 60 million euros. The defender, who has been capped five times for Brazil's U17 team, joined Cruzeiro in May 2025 and has made five appearances in the current Série A season. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.00m.
