Juventus forward Kaio Jorge may return to Brazil as his career in Europe has stalled. After moving from Santos to Juventus in 2021, a severe injury sidelined him for nearly two years.
This setback disrupted his momentum and, despite a loan spell at Frosinone, he has not regained his former level.

A return to Brazil might be crucial for Jorge to rebuild his form and confidence before he attempts another stint in Europe. The impact of his long-term injury is evident, and he needs more time to recover his best form.
