Kaio Jorge Pinto Ramos (born 24 January 2002), known as Kaio Jorge (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈkaju ˈʒoɾʒɨ]) or simply Kaio (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈkaju]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Juventus.
Club career[]
Santos[]
Born in Olinda, Pernambuco, Kaio joined Santos' under-11s in 2013.[2] In November 2017, aged only 15, he was promoted to the under-20 squad.[3]
On 21 September 2018, Kaio was promoted to the first-team by manager Cuca.[4] He made his professional – and Série A – debut nine days later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Bruno Henrique in a 1–0 home defeat of Atlético Paranaense,[5] becoming the sixth youngest to debut in Santos' history.[6]
On 11 January 2019, after lengthy negotiations, Kaio signed his first professional contract with the club, agreeing to a three-year deal.[7] He scored his first goal for Peixe on 3 March of the following year, netting his team's second in a 2–1 Copa Libertadores away win against Defensa y Justicia; it was also his debut match in the competition.[8]
Juventus[]
On 26 July 2021, Kaio Jorge reportedly agreed to a pre-contract with Italian side Juventus, effective as of 1 January.[9] On 2 August, Santos announced an agreement with Juventus for the immediate transfer of Kaio Jorge,[2] with the Italian side paying a rumoured fee of €3 million.[10] Juventus officially announced his transfer on 17 August, signing him on a five-year contract.[11] On 23 August, Kaio Jorge had a medium grade injury to the rectus femoris.[12] On 2 October, Kaio Jorge played his first match since this injury (and the first one for Juventus) in a 1–0 away win against cross-rivals Torino, coming on as substitute in the 89th minute.[13] On 20 October, Kaio played a match with Juventus U23 — the reserve team of Juventus — in a 2–2 Serie C away draw against AlbinoLeffe, where he missed a penalty and scored a goal.[14] On 22 February 2022, Kaio was called up by Juventus U23 again for a match against Pro Patria set to be played the following day[15] where he injured his patellar tendon.[16]
International career[]
Kaio was called up to Brazil under-15s for the 2017 South American U-15 Championship, scoring four goals in only three matches during the tournament.[3] On 21 September 2018, he was called up to the under-17s for a friendly tournament in Nantwich and Telford, England.[17]
On 20 September 2019, Kaio was included in Guilherme Dalla Déa's 21-man list for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[18] He scored five goals in the competition, including one in the final a (2–1 defeat of Mexico),[19] and was awarded the Bronze Boot.[20]
Personal life[]
Kaio's father Jorge Ramos was also a footballer and a forward who notably represented Chaves and Gama.[21]
