New Juventus striker Kaio Jorge is leaving for Italy and will arrive at Turin’s Caselle Airport tomorrow.

The Brazilian striker will join the Bianconeri in a €3m move from Santos.

The 19-year-old is leaving Brazil and will arrive in Italy tomorrow and could undergo his medical examinations with the Serie A giants on Thursday.

Kaio Jorge had agreed personal terms with the Serie A giants ahead of a potential free transfer in January.

However, the Bianconeri managed to agree the payer’s transfer fee with Santos, so the player will move to Turin immediately.

Juventus will pay €1.5m now and €1.5m if they qualify for the Champions League in 2021-22.

Santos’ President Andres Rueda has revealed Kaio Jorge refused to sign a contract extension in January 2021.

He also rejected a move to Benfica, opting to join Juventus instead. The Portuguese club offered €6m to secure the player’s services, but Kaio Jorge had already agreed personal terms with the Bianconeri.
