Throughout the negotiation, there has been talk of Kaio's incorporation in January, but his arrival in Turin will not be delayed and Allegri will have the talented footballer at his disposal. La Vecchia Signora is thus ahead of all the teams that had been interested in hiring him: Inter, Naples, Lazio and even Atleti also had him scheduled. The figures in which the agreement has been closed are around 4.5 million euros, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. That is, 1.5 now, 1.5 next January and a final million as a bonus if certain variables are met.
The forward, born in Olinda on January 24, 2002, has shown that despite his age he has a great personality and his pulse did not tremble in his leap to professionalism. 84 games and 17 goals are a good example of this. Kaio Jorge is valued at 12 million euros in Transfermarkt, but the operation has been closed in a lower amount for two reasons: the contract ended in December of this year and the financial situation of Santos is far from being buoyant. Hence, the Brazilian team has decided that the transfer was the best option for all parties.

In Turin he can learn from Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala, as long as there is no summer turn of events (CR7 still dreams of Real Madrid, as reported by AS).
