Kaio Fernando da Silva Pantaleão (born 18 September 1995), known mononymously as Kaio, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Russian club FC Krasnodar.
Born in Araraquara, Brazil, Kaio is product of local Ferroviária youth ranks. On 22 July 2017, he started his first experience abroad, joining Santa Clara on a one-year loan deal.[2] He made his debut for the Azorean team on 13 August 2017, in a 2–1 home win against Sporting da Covilhã.[3]
