Borussia Dortmund have reportedly made a breakthrough in their bid to sign 17-year-old left-back Kauã Prates from Cruzeiro.
According to Sky Germany, the two clubs have agreed on a deal worth around €12 million. Brazilian outlet Central da Toca reports that a sell-on clause is also included.
Only a few details remain to be sorted out with Prates, who is expected to sign a contract running until 2031 and join the Black and Ylloews in the summer.
The Brazilian U17 international can't move to Europe this winter, as he will only turn 18 on August 12.
Despite his young age, Kauã Prates has already made 15 appearances for Cruzeiro's first team.
