Santos starlet Kaio Jorge has refused a contract proposal from Benfica and is now in advanced negotiations with Juventus to join the Italian outfit in January 2022, Goal can confirm.
After Santos had accepted a transfer proposal from Benfica for the 19-year-old attacker, he personally rebuffed the approach with his mind dead set on Serie A.
Juventus will now evaluate whether they will try to sign Kaio Jorge from Santos with immediate effect this summer through a €1-2 million offer, or if they should wait to acquire him on a free in January.
