Brazilian talent Kaio Jorge moved to Juventus in the summer of 2021 from Santos for a reported fee of €1.50M but quickly fell out of favor due to unfortunate fitness and injury issues. He now has a way out of the club, with Frosinone director Guido Angelozzi keeping close tabs on his potential services.
Jorge appeared recently back into the limelight by having a full pre-season under Max Allegri and winning praise from the management. The Brazilian, now recovered from knee surgery following 555 days of absence, played a key role in Juventus’ intra-club 8-0 win against the Next Gen side, where he scored an impressive hat-trick.

As per Gianluca Di Marzio, Angelozzi was convinced on Jorge’s performance in the friendly at the Allianz Stadium after watching him live. Serie A newcomers Frosinone are expected to table a bid and lure Jorge ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Jorge has also been linked to Brazilian outfit Cruzeiro. He made 11 appearances in his first season in the Bianconeri colors before jumping to the U23 squad and then missing almost all of the 2022/23 season due to a terrible series of injuries that first began in February 2022.

Our Take on Kaio Jorge and Frosinone
It is absolutely relieving to see Kaio Jorge back with a hat-trick for Juventus in pre-season after missing the last 18 months due to unlucky injuries. He has missed more than a year of action, with his last game in the starting eleven arriving back in December 2021. Frosinone could very well provide the stepping stone for him to excel before he perhaps makes his way back to Juve.
