Already agreed with Corinthians, forward Kaio César's arrival in Brazil has been postponed. The player was expected in São Paulo last Tuesday night, but, at Al-Hilal's request, he is now set to travel next Monday.
The Saudi club requested that Corinthians allow Kaio César to be included in the next two matches of the team, against Al-Fayha this Thursday, and Al-Riyadh next Sunday. The reason is the absences in Simone Inzaghi's team for these matches. The information was initially published by ge and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.
After this period, the winger will travel to Brazil to undergo medical exams and sign a contract with Timão.

Kaio César will join Corinthians on a one-season loan, with an option to buy. The club will not pay any fee for the signing but will cover the 21-year-old forward's salary.
The player's stint at Al-Hilal was modest. He scored only four goals and provided six assists in 32 games for the team. Before playing for the Saudis, the young athlete played for Vitória de Guimarães in Portugal and Coritiba.
Signing fast forwards for the wings was a request from coach Dorival Júnior, who sees a shortage in Corinthians' flanks. Besides Kaio, Timão also is interested in Júnior Santos from Atlético-MG.
Kaio César is one of five reinforcements for the club in 2026. Corinthians has already announced the arrivals of Gabriel Paulista and Matheus Pereira and is close to confirming two more signings: Pedro Milans and João Ricardo.
