Benfica ‘not pursuing’ Kaio Jorge for 2026/27 after Jhon Durán signing | OneFootball

Benfica are not planning a move for Kaio Jorge for the 2026/27 season.

According to Glorioso 1904, the Cruzeiro striker was linked in recent weeks, but there is no intention to advance after the club secured the signing of Jhon Durán.

Rui Costa does not have Kaio Jorge among the priority targets to bolster the attack, a stance shared by the staff led by Marco Silva.

Despite the Brazilian’s campaign at Cruzeiro, with 40 games, 17 goals and two assists, and the rumours around him, he is not under consideration at present, particularly with the market closed.

As things stand, Kaio Jorge is not expected to be an option for Benfica’s forward line in 2026/27. His profile has been assessed and linked, but he is not currently a priority within the structure overseen by Rui Costa.
