Caio: ‘Comfortable in two positions’

New Valencia signing Rodrigo Caio has underlined his versatility by saying he is comfortable playing in both defence and midfield.

The 21-year-old was signed by the Mestalla outfit from Sao Paulo on Saturday for a reported €16.5m and has previously played as a centre-back and holding midfielder.

Super Deporte has reported that the youngster is happy to let Valencia Coach Nuno decide on where to deploy him.

“There are two positions that I’m comfortable with and like playing in but the important thing is to be happy and feel fulfilled," he said.

“I began playing as a centre-back but over the course of time I moved forward to play as a defensive midfielder.”

Caio, who is a Brazil youth international at Under-20 and Under-23 level, also expressed that he was happy with his move to a "historic team" that competes in "the best League in the world."

He will arrive in Valencia next Thursday in order to complete and medical and officially confirm his transfer to Los Che.
