Our condolences and solidarity with the family, friends and Ituano, we wish that they all find strength in this moment of pain.”
The causes of death remain unknown. El Ituano, who belongs to Division Two, said they would provide more details on the case as soon as they had information. The young goalkeeper “was found lifeless at his residence on Saturday night”.
Who was Gian Kayo?
The player was born in 2002 and in 2021 he signed with Ituano, where he became a starter for the under-20 team in the Paulista Championship. This season he was going to play in the first team, with which he will play in the second division in search of promotion to the first.
