Internacional officially announced this Wednesday the signing of the 22-year-old forward Kayky from Bahia, on loan until the end of 2026. The player was on Corinthians' radar during this transfer window, but the legal case involving forward Kauê Furquim spoiled the deal.

Discovered by Fluminense, Kayky was sold to Manchester City at a very young age but could not establish himself at the club. At Bahia, the forward played on loan in 2023 and returned permanently in 2025.
In total, he played 131 matches in his career, scored 10 goals, and provided 16 assists.
Last year, Corinthians filed a complaint against Bahia at the CNRD (National Dispute Resolution Chamber) due to the Kauê Furquim case. The Timão management claims that the Northeastern club lured the young player. Therefore, the club does not intend to negotiate with the Bahian rival while the case is pending in higher authorities, which prevented Kayky's signing.
