São Paulo defender Rodrigo Caio can complete his transfer to Europe before the end of transfer window on August 31.
On Thursday, Rodrigo Caio received his Italian passport in the city of Napoli. The 23-year-old had travelled to Italy this week, and was spared from Wednesday’s Copa do Brasil fixture against Juventude at the Morumbi. With the Italian passport, Rodrigo Caio has more options for clubs in Europe, because he wouldn’t have to occupy a non-EU spot. The player has attracted the interest of some major European clubs in recent transfer windows. Lazio have already shown interest and talked with the representatives of the defender, while Sevilla had made an official proposal, which was turned down by São Paulo. Reports from European media have also linked Rodrigo Caio to Hamburg and AC Milan.
After successfully signing Paulo Henrique Ganso, Sevilla have been negotiating for Rodrigo Caio, but the Brazilian club wants €15 million to sell him. The release of the player to take a European passport indicates São Paulo’s willingness to sell him in the current transfer window. Rodrigo Caio was called up by Tite on Monday to represent the senior national team in the World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Colombia next month.
