Kauê Rodrigues, a midfielder from Botafogo, is set to join FC Porto on a free transfer. He will sign a five-year contract and initially join the FC Porto B team. The deal includes Botafogo retaining 50% of the player's economic rights, with the possibility of earning up to €4.5 million if certain performance targets are met and FC Porto acquires an additional 30% of his rights. The agreement was facilitated by the conclusion of Kauê's contract in December 2026. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at 2.00 million euros.
