Borussia Dortmund's Transfer Window Shifts: Tresoldi and de Cat Exit, Prates Joins Later

German-Italian striker Nicolo Tresoldi, who impressed with three Champions League goals for Club Brugge, is close to a move to AS Roma with a reported fee of about €25 million, ending recent speculation that Borussia Dortmund might sign him. At the same time, 17‑year‑old midfielder Nathan de Cat appears set to join RSC Anderlecht for a similar amount, reducing the likelihood of a Dortmund transfer; Hoffenheim have also shown interest.

Separately, Dortmund have completed the signing of 17‑year‑old Brazilian left‑back Kaua Prates for €12 million on a contract until 2031. Because he will not turn 18 until August, FIFA rules prevent him from training or playing in official matches until after 12 August. Dortmund are seeking a guest‑player permit from his current club Cruzeiro, while he recovers from a thigh injury.

Both developments reshape Dortmund's squad planning ahead of the new season.
