Eight-year-old Brazilian Kauan Basile has already signed a sponsorship deal with Nike.

He is the young star of FC Santos. Kauan Basile is seen as a huge hope for the future in his homeland, and now Nike struck and offered him a lucrative contract. He is even a lot younger than Lionel Messi when he signed his first contract. Messi signed his first contract when he was 15, and Brazilian superstar Neymar when he was 13.

“He’s a player with an absurd will to win,” said his father.
