Central do Timão’s investigation confirms the amount initially reported by ESPN: 6 million euros (about 37.6 million reais) for 50% of the player's economic rights.
The player also received an offer from Atlético-MG, but chose to sign with Corinthians due to the Libertadores campaign and conversations with coach Dorival Júnior, according to his agent, Gilson Tussi.
Kaio César arrives as one of the few speed options for the alvinegro attack. Timão’s coach had even highlighted in a press conference the need to reinforce the squad with more players.
In the current season for Al Hilal, the winger played in 14 matches, scored one goal, and provided three assists.
