Juventus signed 19 year old Santos wonder kid
The Brazilian club Santos has raised some of Brazil's greatest footballers over time. From Pele to Neymar. And now the next shot at that tribe may be on its way to Europe.
Because according to Juventus' official Twitter profile, "The old lady" is just a medical check from being able to sign a contract with the 19-year-old great talent Kaio Jorge.
Kaio Jorge is a lightning fast striker who has played 80 senior matches for Brazilian Santos and scored 17 goals. He was also involved when the Brazilian U / 17 national team won the World Cup at home in 2019.
Although the price of the 19-year-old striker is not yet known, Goal.com believes to know that Juventus is scoring a bit of a bargain. Kaio Jorge's contract expires in December, and since there is great interest in the Brazilian, Santos would rather sell him now than wait for the talent to slip away for free at the turn of the year.
wow... I have been following this player up for some days now. he is such a fantastic lad that i believe he is going to perform wonderfully well when he gets to the Juve. Chelsea at some point also went for the player at some point
Fantastic this player is a very good player that juventus can derived a lot from him but it very difficult to release such a wonderful player to go to another team to showcase his talent. Good luck to him on is new team
He is going to be a great addition to the Juventus squad with his flair and skills. He is going to give the opponents tough time
Smart move from Juventus laying hold on this exciting young talent. It shows they mean well for the future of the club. I believe he could prove to be an awesome addition to the team has he develops. He has great skills which could help him thrive at the Club.
I don't expect him to feature regularly due to the difficulties of adapting into a new league and all. Hope Maximiliano Allegri however gives him more playing in the coming season to boost his confidence. Been at the same club with Cristiano Ronaldo could also help him learn a thing or two and avoid certain mistakes young players often commit.
If managed well by the Turin club, his goal scoring abilities could be better improved and him like his predecessor becoming a force to reckon with in international football stage. He has all he takes to succeed. Hope he doesn't let the fame and all have and all have a negative influence on him like small great talent who didnt leave up to their potentials due to the glamour and all.
