Kaio César arrives in Brazil to complete Corinthians loan and hopes for Supercopa involvement | OneFootball

Kaio César has landed in Guarulhos to complete a loan move to Corinthians from Al-Hilal until the end of the season. According to Globo.com, the forward arrived on Monday after a 14-hour flight from Doha for medicals and paperwork.

He said he is very happy, excited and anxious to wear the shirt, and will follow the programme set for him to be at the coach's disposal as quickly as possible.

He wants to face Flamengo in the Supercopa Rei on Sunday at 16:00 at Estádio Mané Garrincha, though availability will depend on his integration. He added that he spoke briefly with Dorival Júnior, felt wanted, and will give his best while selection remains the coach's call.

Addressing fans, he promised commitment, joy and a readiness to help team-mates. A Coritiba academy product with experience in Portugal, the 21-year-old has been recruited to operate wide, a role sought by Dorival since last year.

The deal was negotiated by executive Marcelo Paz. A 500,000 euro fee is said to be due, about 3.1 million reais, though Corinthians deny this and insist the move carries no cost. The club will pay 100% of his wages during the loan.

Corinthians hold an option to buy 50% of his rights for 6 million euros, around 37.6 million reais. His arrival takes the 2026 intake to four, alongside Gabriel Paulista, Matheus Pereira and Pedro Milans.
