A statement from Santos president Andres Rueda read: “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.”

Having come through the academy, Kaio Jorge made 84 appearances for Brazilian side Santos across three years, scoring 17 times.
