¿Me cuenta sobre el equipo al que me uniría?
The verb must agree with the subject 'tú', so use 'cuentas' (second‑person singular).
¿Me cuentas sobre el equipo que me uniría?
Missing the preposition 'a' before the relative pronoun; the correct form is 'al que'.
¿Me cuentas sobre el equipo al que me uniré?

Cultural Tip
In a formal business setting Spaniards often prefer the polite form '¿Podría contarme…?' using 'usted' instead of the informal '¿Me cuentas…?'. The relative construction 'al que' is very common in Spanish and sounds natural; avoid dropping the preposition ('el equipo que…') because it changes the nuance.
