The 23-year-old arrives in France with much promise on his name and will bring a lot of quality to Niko Kovac’s team.
Caio is a product of the Santos Academy and boasts the ability to play on any position in the left flank.
His pace and versatility will also come in handy to the Monaco setup as well.
Shortly after signing for Monaco, the Brazilian expressed how pleased he was about his new adventure.
“I am very happy to start this new adventure with AS Monaco. I’m joining a very ambitious club that is internationally recognized and respected for its history and track record. I am impatient to join my teammates but also to play in the French league which is very popular in Brazil.” He said to the club’s website.

In the same vein, club president Oleg Petrov also spoke on Monaco’s desire to go all out for Caio in the transfer market.
“We are delighted to welcome Caio Henrique to AS Monaco, whose arrival is part of our desire to strengthen the competitiveness of the first team. Spotted at a very young age by a top European club, Caio has developed his qualities and acquired significant experience in Brazil by playing nearly one hundred matches at the highest national and international level. He will find at AS Monaco all the elements necessary to continue his progress and help the club to achieve its goals.”
Caio has been on the radar of Monaco for quite a while and they appear to have finally got their man. Caio Henrique has played nearly 80 professional matches and has 20 caps with Brazil’s U20 and U23 teams.
