Cruzeiro announce Kaio Jorge contract extension until 2030

Cruzeiro confirmed on Monday the extension of the contract of forward Kaio Jorge. One of the main names in the squad and top scorer of the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil last year, the 23-year-old player had a contract valid until 2028 and now has a contract with the Minas Gerais club until the end of 2030.

The renewal comes amid a period of strong appreciation of the athlete in the market. After standing out last season, Kaio Jorge attracted the interest of Flamengo, which offered up to 30 million euros for the athlete, but the Cruzeiro board chose to keep him as a central piece of the sports project for the coming years. As part of the new agreement, the forward received a salary adjustment compatible with his status as a team protagonist.

The announcement was made during an institutional event held at Mineirão, with the participation of the player and the owner of the club's SAF, Pedro Lourenço. Since his arrival at Toca da Raposa II, Kaio has established himself as an offensive reference and is considered a fundamental piece in the planning of the technical committee led by Tite.

“I am very happy with today. A very significant day in my career as a professional player. Renewing my contract here at Mineirão is very gratifying, with the presence of the president, who made a great effort for me to stay. One of the reasons that led me to renew with Cruzeiro was the affection I have for the fans and the fans have for me. Many glories, many goals, and a lot of emotion with you, okay? Do the K!”, said the forward in the video announcing the renewal.

Signed in 2024, the forward experienced his best phase with Cruzeiro's jersey in 2025. Last season, he finished as the top scorer of the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, a performance that placed him among the top forwards in the country and reinforced the club's decision to ensure his long-term stay.
