Corinthians show interest in Al-Hilal forward Kaio César on loan | OneFootball

Meu Timao reports that Corinthians have shown interest in Al-Hilal forward Kaio César as they look to bolster their squad for 2026. The club are eyeing a loan, with no transfer fee outlay planned for this window.

At present it is only interest in the 21-year-old right winger, and any move would depend on talks with Al-Hilal.

Kaio César was discussed at Corinthians in 2025, when a FIFA transfer ban prevented signings. The target aligns with Dorival’s longstanding wish for a quick right-sided attacker.

In 2025/26 he has made 14 appearances for Al-Hilal, scoring one goal and providing three assists. His previous clubs include Coritiba and Vitória SC in Portugal.

Since the ban was lifted last Friday, Corinthians have been active. They have announced centre-back Gabriel Paulista, have moved towards a one-year loan with an option to buy for Fortaleza midfielder Matheus Pereira, and have moved towards a deal for right-back Pedro Milans, aged 23, who is available after terminating his Peñarol contract.

Executive director of football Marcelo Paz is targeting low-cost deals via loans or swaps. Right-back, midfield and two attacking additions are the priorities.
