Another promising young talent from Ceará has had his contract renewed. Caio, an 18-year-old midfielder who made his professional debut in the final rounds of the 2026 Brazilian Série B Championship, signed a contract extension with the People’s Team until the end of the 2028 season.

Caio joined Ceará in 2022, at the age of 15, to be part of the club’s U-15 team. After a spell with the U-17s, he had been part of the U-20 squad since the 2025 season, still at just 18 years old. This year, Caio has played 1 match for the first team and 8 for the U-20s.

Caio is part of the squad coached by Daniel Paulista and has frequently been included in matchday squads, making his professional debut in the match against Juventude/RS in the Brazilian Série B Championship. The player said he is fulfilled by the new contract and hopes to live up to the club’s expectations.

“Renewing with Ceará is another dream come true. Since I arrived at Cidade Vozão, I’ve given my best for the club, and this recognition is very important. I will work even harder to live up to the effort and the trust of everyone involved in this process,” he said.

Caio is another player developed in the black-and-white youth academy who is now part of the professional squad and has signed a contract extension. Besides him, players such as Melk, João Gabriel, Pedro Gilmar, and Enzo Lodovico have also signed through the end of 2028.
