Our valuation for Kaio César Andrade Lima is driven by his recent transfer history and the specific terms of his loan-to-buy move. Al Hilal paid a reported €9.0M for him in January 2025, setting a strong baseline. The January 2026 loan to Corinthians included a reported €6M purchase option for 50% of his rights, implying a total valuation of €12M. This option, reportedly matched by another club, establishes a clear upper bound for negotiations.
