Corinthians close in on signing Al Hilal striker ahead of Flamengo clash | OneFootball

Which forward is close to signing with Corinthians?

Corinthians has finalized the signing of forward Kaio César from Al Hilal (SAU). The São Paulo team convinced the Saudi club to loan the player at no cost, and the expectation is that the young Brazilian will arrive in São Paulo next week.

According to information from the UOL portal, Kaio César agreed to reduce his salary to leave Al Hilal and sign with Corinthians. At the Saudi club, the forward earned approximately R$ 1 million per month, but agreed to lower his demands to play for the São Paulo team.

Kaio César was told by Al Hilal that he would have few opportunities this season. For this reason, the Saudi club agreed to loan the forward for free until the end of 2026.

Kaio César has a contract with the Saudi club until mid-2028. Therefore, after the end of the 2026 season, the forward will have to return to Al Hilal. Corinthians, however, will have the opportunity to make a purchase offer if they are interested.

When will the Supercopa do Brasil take place?
