Kaio Jorge is the newest addition for the Juventus club. The young 19-year-old Brazilian starlet was heavily linked with a move to the Rossoneri, but eventually, Juventus pushed harder to snatch the player from Santos.
Santos FC announced the deal on their official website:
"Santos FC and Juventus, from Italy, entered into an agreement for the negotiation of striker Kaio Jorge this Monday (August 2). The Italian team accepted the terms of the Peixe and the player will now be released to play in Europe."
“Juventus reached the conditions we presented and which we believe were the best at that time for the Club, given the scenario we found. Good luck to Kaio Jorge, another boy from the village that we're going to hope to follow his path well,” said Santos FC president Andres Rueda.
