Benfica monitoring Cruzeiro’s Kaio Jorge amid Bayern de Munique and Bayer Leverkusen interest | OneFootball

Benfica may look to bolster their attack this season and have placed Cruzeiro striker Kaio Jorge on a watchlist. According to Glorioso 1904, they face competition from Bayern de Munique and Bayer Leverkusen.

The report adds that Aston Villa, Milan and Fiorentina are also monitoring the forward after strong displays in the Brasileirão. His form has put him on the radar for upcoming transfer windows.

The Belo Horizonte club have set an asking price of 40 to 45 million euros for his transfer. That figure reflects a future sell-on clause owed to Juventus in any deal involving Kaio Jorge.

Benfica’s hierarchy, led by Rui Costa, are assessing the feasibility of a move in a bid to get ahead of major European rivals.

However, the report recently indicated the Brazilian forward is not currently in Benfica’s plans.
