Kaio Jorge is completing his rehab from a massive knee injury, but it’s not so certain his return on the pitch will happen with Juventus. Cruzeiro are keen on bringing the youngster back to Brazil. His close friend Mauro Motta revealed during the show Momento Esportivo (via Calciomercato) that the youngster would transfer in March when the transfer window opens ahead of the start of the Brasilerao.
The striker joined Juventus for a low fee since his contract with Santos was about to expire. They paid €5.4M: €1.5M to his former team and €3.9M to his entourage. Ronaldo, who acquired the Raposa in 2021, didn’t dismiss the reports during the program and in a recent Twitch stream.
“Kaio Jorge and I have had the same injury, as he tore his patellar tendon. He’s still healing. He has been very unlucky at Juventus, as he got hurt pretty soon. I wish him a speedy recovery.”
Despite some optimistic remarks by the forward, coach Massimiliano Allegri stated that he wasn’t close to coming back in the presser before the Fiorentina clash. Per Tuttomercatoweb, Juventus would rather ease the prodigy back into action with the Next Gen squad and eventually revisit the deal in the summer.
Our Take on Kaio Jorge
Considering how much he’s been out, the fact that it takes their coach extraordinary circumstances to break in youngsters, and since Juventus can’t really give him the time he needs to get back into shape and gain experience, a loan would be ideal, but it’d be better for his development if it were to a Serie A minnow or a European side in general.
