The 18-year-old striker, who joined from Corinthians, is seen in his native country as one of the most exciting talents of his generation and a potential future superstar.
Seven for Corinthians in under-17 Brazilian Cup
Caio is a left-footed forward with a nose for goal who scored seven in the recent edition of the under-17 Brazilian Cup. Granada have pulled off quite a coup as Liverpool, Barcelona and Chelsea have all been credited with an interest in the player after that tournament.
“I’m very happy to join Granada. I’m at a club that will give me everything I need to continue developing my career as a player and it’s a great city,” Caio said.
