Juventus new signing Kaio Jorge took the number 21 shirt because he follows in the footsteps of “great players like Andrea Pirlo, Paulo Dybala, Zinedine Zidane and Gonzalo Higuain”.
The 19-year-old Brazilian completed Santos’ transfer today for a fee of € 3million, despite having had his medical more than two weeks ago.
“I’m very happy to be here, it’s been my dream from childhood,” Kaio Jorge told Juventus TV.
“I expect to stay at Juve for a long time because they are a great team, one of the biggest in Europe. I move a lot on the pitch and have an eye for the goal.
He chose jersey number 21 for a very specific reason.
“It was worn by great players here: Pirlo, Dybala, Zidane and Higuain. So I hope to score a lot of goals with this jersey too.
“My goal is to score and help my teammates the best I can and, God willing, to win trophies like the Champions League.”
Kaio Jorge also took part in a quick quiz, in which he confessed that he had a poster of new teammate Cristiano Ronaldo on his wall growing up.
