Left-back Caio Paulista is on loan to Atlético-MG. The club is not expected to keep the player for 2026. His parent club, Palmeiras, does not plan to use him next season and is expected to arrange another loan.

Palmeiras and Atlético-MG are negotiating a swap deal with Caio Paulista moving to Atlético-MG on loan until the end of the current season. Caio Paulista has fallen out of favor at Palmeiras, becoming the third-choice left-back. Atlético-MG urgently needs a backup for their main left-back, Guilherme Arana, and sees this loan as an ideal solution.
