Caio Henrique has joined AS Monaco from Ligue 1 side Nice, with the Brazilian defender joining on a season-long loan deal.
The 22-year-old was born in Brazil but moved to France at the age of four, where he grew up playing for Nice's youth academy. He made his professional debut for the club during the 2018-19 season and quickly established himself as one of their most promising young players.
Caio impressed in his first season at Nice, making 24 appearances across all competitions and helping the team finish in fourth place in Ligue 1. However, after the departure of manager Lucien Favre, Caio found himself out of favour under new coach Bruno Genesio and struggled to make an impact on the pitch.
As a result, Monaco decided to bring him to the Principality,Qatar Stars League Tracking hoping that they can help him further develop his career and gain more experience at the highest level of French football. The move is seen as a good opportunity for both parties, with Monaco looking to strengthen their defence while Caio will be given the chance to showcase his talent in front of a bigger audience.
In terms of highlights, Caio had a strong start to his Monaco career, scoring his first goal for the club against Rennes in the league last week. His performance against Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de France also caught the attention of fans and media alike.
Overall, Caio's move to Monaco is a positive development for both player and club, with the hope being that he can continue to grow and improve under the guidance of new manager Christophe Galtier.
