Corinthians announce signing of striker Kaio César | OneFootball

Corinthians announced this Thursday the signing of forward Kaio César. The 21-year-old player joins Timão on a one-season loan from Al-Hilal, with a purchase option.

Kaio César is already training with the squad and has had his contract registered in the CBF’s BID (Daily Information Bulletin). Therefore, he is available to Dorival Júnior for the Supercopa do Brasil this Sunday, against Flamengo. The match at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília, is scheduled for 4:00 PM (Brasília time).

Corinthians did not pay any fee for the signing of the forward, but will take on the young player’s wages.

The player’s spell at Al-Hilal was discreet. He scored just four goals and provided six assists in 39 matches for the team. Before playing for the Saudis, he played for Vitória de Guimarães in Portugal and Coritiba.

The signing of fast wingers was a request from coach Dorival Júnior. Timão is still looking for at least one more winger in this transfer window.

Kaio César is Corinthians’ fourth signing for 2026. The club has already confirmed the arrivals of Gabriel Paulista, Matheus Pereira, and Pedro Milans, and is close to confirming goalkeeper João Ricardo. In a press conference last Wednesday, Dorival said he expects “five or six more signings.”
