São Paulo sign Cotia gem with big clause: “Dream come true” | OneFootball

São Paulo has signed the first professional contract with 16-year-old midfielder Kauã Edmar, a young talent beginning to stand out in the club's under-17 category. The contract is for three years, until September 2028.

To protect itself (theoretically) from European interest, Tricolor has set the contractual penalty with the boy at 60 million euros (about R$ 378 million at the current exchange rate) in an agreement made on the 10th of this month.

Kauã arrived in Cotia in 2022 and played for the under-14 and under-15 teams, where he began to gain prominence, until he was promoted to the under-17 team, where he has already played 31 matches this season, scoring two goals for São Paulo.

The young talent celebrated his first contract with the club he defends, stating it to be a "childhood dream come true".

“The long-awaited day has arrived, today I signed my first professional contract with São Paulo. I can only thank God first, my family and everyone who was part of this in some way. Childhood dream come true. Thank you God!!!”, Kauã Edmar posted on his social media.

The midfielder takes the field this Tuesday afternoon (23) for Tricolor, against Bahia, in Cotia, in the last round of the Brasileirão Under-17. However, São Paulo, has no more chances to advance and is already eliminated from the national youth competition.
