Santos Futebol Clube, through its Legal Department, officially notified Juventus, from Italy, and Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, from Belo Horizonte, about the negotiation involving striker Kaio Jorge.
Santos FC awaits the parties' response to present a possible demand to FIFA.
Juventus officially announced on its website the negotiation of the athlete to the Brazilian club on June 11, 2024. Simultaneously, the Minas Gerais club confirmed the transaction through official channels.
The player was sold by Santos to the Italian club in August 2021 for 3 million euros. The sales contract expressly contains a preference clause for Santos, in the event of any negotiation.
At no point was Santos informed about the transaction information or consulted about their interest in reacquiring the player. Kaio Jorge was trained in the youth divisions of Santos FC.

I love our mercato, look forward to it every summer. it’s never a total shit show
Bring it on man, I’m not in the mood to get lawyered by a goddamn second division Brazilian club!
Apparently the clause was valid only in case of loan to Brazil. Santos are in financial dire straits and are probably just trying to get some cash out of this (won’t work).
With what money would the Brazilian bums buy him back? They play in 2nd division

Originally i was worried about having proper midfield depth, but now im concerned about our lawyers. We’ve had a lot of legal battles lately and im not sure we have the best lawyer rotation. They really havent had a chance to rest all season. I think we should at least loan a lawyer from Manchester City if we have the budget. Thoughts?
Ahhh… My heart breaks for Santos. What a travesty! How will they ever survive without Jorge?
