Kaio Jorge

In December 2025, reports consistently stated Cruzeiro's asking price for the player is €50 million, with a release clause reportedly set at approximately €100 million. During this period, Cruzeiro reportedly rejected a €25 million loan-to-buy offer from West Ham and separate offers from Flamengo valued at a fixed €30 million and €22 million plus a player. Zenit was also reportedly willing to pay €30 million, a move the player himself rejected. In November 2025, Cruzeiro's minimum valuation was cited between €25 million and €35 million amid interest from Aston Villa. The player's Transfermarkt value was reported at €22 million in December 2025. He was transferred from Juventus to Cruzeiro in July 2024 for a reported €7.2 million.

Our valuation for Kaio Jorge is driven by Cruzeiro's consistently reported asking price of €50 million in December 2025, which is a firm ceiling for negotiations. This is supported by multiple rejected offers in the €25-30 million range from clubs like West Ham and Flamengo, establishing a clear floor. The player's strong performance as a top scorer in Brazil and interest from several major clubs suggest his value is significantly higher than his €7.2 million transfer fee from July 2024. The estimate of €40 million represents a likely compromise point between the rejected bids and the firm asking price.
