Kauan Basile, the new Brazilian prodigy
It is not uncommon these days to see some footballers be talked about on the Internet or on social networks because they have just signed an incredible partnership with a world famous brand. A contract that allows them to earn even more income, while some already benefit from the highest salaries in the world of football. Today, some equipment manufacturers have become heavyweights in the world of football: taking the example ofAdidas, Nike or Puma, who will be very well represented at Euro 2021, signing a contract with such brands ensures a nice highlight and a certain global notoriety …
In addition to signing with current stars, for example Kylian Mbappé and LeBron James, Nike seeks above all to highlight the stars of tomorrow. And the famous comma mark may well have found the one who will succeed Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo in the winners of the Ballon d’Or… and he’s from Brazil. The country of football has in its history seen the emergence of real nuggets, gifted with the ball, and the latest examples such as Neymar or Vinicius Jr, who was strongly criticized by a teammate in the middle of a match, demonstrate this perfectly.

It is therefore linked to Nike for 3 years, with optional additional 2 years. And the craziest thing is that he becomes the youngest player to engage with the brand.
A performance that allows him to register his name in front of those most prestigious of current football. We think in particular of Rodrygo, current Real Madrid defender, who was only 11 at the time of his first contract, but also to other football stars. While his recent 11 special legend PSG has caused controversy, Neymar was for example only 13 years old when he signed his first contract … and what about Lionel Messi? The six-time Ballon d’Or did not achieve such a performance that at the age of 15, while his look was quite different, which gives us a little glimpse of the performance that Kauan Basile accomplished. This does not mean that he will achieve the same career as the Pulga but still, Brazil may have its future big star…
