Interested parties

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Braga has shown interest in signing Kaique.

Despite Palmeiras' desire to keep the player long term as one of the options in the senior squad, Kaique is not expected to return, as he believes he would not play regularly.

The player and his staff both want him to keep playing and, if possible, at a bigger club on the European stage.
