At just 13 years old, Caouan Basile has come into the spotlight. He grew up in Santos. The teenager’s father is former Brazilian footballer Andrezinho. Caouan Basile is considered the future of Brazil due to his football skills. According to many, he could be the next Neymar of Brazil!
Basile first came into the spotlight at the age of 8. Since then, his sponsor has been Nike. This is a record for the youngest player to sign a contract with a sportswear manufacturer. Neymar was 13 years old at the time of his first contract with Nike, while Messi was 15. In other words, this rising star has broken the record of Messi and Neymar in this regard.
With his magical dribbling, passing and goal-scoring skills, Basile is constantly proving that he is not being compared to Neymar. Last year, Basile led the Santos U-16 team to the title in an age-based international tournament from the front. And last year, he was only 12!
Showing flashes of talent, 13-year-old Basile is now waiting to play in the U-18 team. Two days ago, this wonder boy came into the spotlight again after signing an image-ownership agreement with Santos. Before Basile, only Neymar had such a deal with Santos at such a young age. If he can be like Neymar in the future, Brazil will benefit.
