Caio Henrique (22 years old) has arrived in Madrid this Wednesday, landing in the afternoon in the capital of Spain after a flight of about ten hours from Sao Paulo. AS received the new reinforcement from Atlético de Madrid, who, accompanied by one of his agents, Lecca de Camargo, was happy: “That Atleti called me is a great joy because I have worked a lot, hard, very hard, in Brazil for two years. I had to have minutes, I had them, I did a good job and for us, those of us who have a contract with the club, to call us is a great joy. “The player even looked at the edition of this newspaper in which the news was announced I had waited so long.
Caio, in addition, did not hide his desire: “Now I have to train very hard to make a place for myself in the squad. I was away two years and It is a great joy to return to this city, to this club that has given me the opportunity to debut (against Guijuelo, in the Cup, in 2016) in the first team. It's a very special moment”.

Caio Henrique will be submitted this Wednesday to the COVID-19 test in Majadahonda and on Thursday, at the University of Navarra Clinic, the medical examination will pass. Also, you have an appointment for obtaining a Spanish passport, one of the reasons that have helped his return to Atlético. As revealed AS on May 29, the rojiblanco club decided to interrupt the transfer of the winger, who can also play in midfield, in Gremio. There was a clause in the loan contract that made it possible and from the Wanda Metropolitano, given the growth of the soccer player in his country, it was decided to make it effective.
The future of Caio, in which clubs from England or Portugal have been interested, now depends on Simeone. His intention is to take advantage of this second opportunity and succeed in Atleti, for which he will be evaluated by the Argentine, although without the possibility of playing in the remainder of the course. Cholo will assess whether he is included in the 2020-21 squad, as expected in the sports management for his versatility, his promising career with the Brazilian team and, above all, because there is currently only one left winger in the first team, Renan Lodi.
