AFC Ajax has reached an agreement with Monaco for the transfer of Caio Henrique, a Brazilian left-back with a lot of experience in the Champions League. The 28-year-old defender has played 211 games for AS Monaco so far, including 22 in the Champions League. Caio Henrique made his debut on 8 September 2023 in the World Cup qualification for the Brazilian national team against Bolivia. He can also play as a center-back and left midfielder, but Ajax wants to bring him in as an experienced left-back. The player is still in talks with Jordi Cruijff, according to sources in France. Proposals until the summer of 2029 and 2030 are on the table. Caio Henrique played against PSV three times in the Champions League in 2021 and 2022. The Brazilian, who also holds Spanish nationality, played for Atletico Madrid until the summer of 2020, where he made one appearance in the first team. During a loan spell, he played 65 games for the Brazilian Fluminense, before being sold to AS Monaco for eight million euros in August 2020. The transfer of Caio Henrique to AFC Ajax is an important step for the club, which is looking for an experienced left-back. The arrival of Caio Henrique will increase the competition in the defense of AFC Ajax and help the club achieve its goals in the Eredivisie and the Champions League. Caio Henrique's experience and skills will be a valuable addition to the team. The transfer is expected to be completed soon, and Caio Henrique will join his new teammates at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
