Borussia Dortmund are set to sign Manchester City hot prospect Jayden Braaf, according to reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Dutchman has never made a senior appearance for Pep Guardiola’s side, but scored nine goals in 18 appearances in the Premier League 2 this season.
Braaf has already agreed to personal terms with BVB, and the deal is set to be announced very soon after his City contract expires.
The two clubs have history in dealing with young players, after Dortmund bought Jadon Sancho from the Citizens in a similar deal back in 2017. They also agreed a blockbuster deal for striker Erling Haaland this summer.

Braaf is a left-sided forward who has only made four senior appearances, they were in Serie A for Udinese last season. He scored once, but has struggled with injuries since.
He posted a classy farewell to the City fans on Instagram, saying:
“I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at @mancity for the faith and support they’ve shown in me over the last few years.
“I’ve grown both personally and professionally and wouldn’t be where I am today without their guidance.

Braaf will join up with new Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic and players on July 1st, where he will hope to provide competition to the first-team at the Westfalenstadion.
