Niko Kovac, who was recently appointed at Dortmund, expressed interest in signing Caio Henrique. This interest arose towards the end of the transfer window, a time when Caio Henrique was experiencing difficulties with his form and had been relegated to the bench due to attitude issues. Despite these challenges, he remained under contract with AS Monaco until 2027. Kovac's interest coincided with a period during which Caio Henrique was struggling to regain his form following a significant injury, namely a rupture of the ligaments in his left knee. Despite facing challenges, including being benched and even excluded from the squad due to attitude problems, Caio managed to improve his situation at Monaco. The turning point occurred when injuries and suspensions within the team gave him the chance to demonstrate his value once again. Although there was an opportunity to move to Dortmund, Caio Henrique ultimately chose to remain with Monaco, where he has once again become an important player.
