One to watch! 9-year-old 'Mini Haaland' renews São Paulo deal | OneFootball

São Paulo has agreed to renew the training contract of young forward Nicolas Emídio, popularly known in the club’s youth ranks as ‘Nick’ or ‘mini Haaland’ because of his long blond hair, like the Norwegian star used to have.

The contract extension reinforces Tricolor’s project of scouting and retaining talent for the club’s entry-level youth categories.

Part of the Laudo Natel Athlete Development Center in Cotia since July 2025, the player signed his first formal commitment with the Morumbi side at eight years of age.

Now nine years old, Nick had his contract extended and renewed after standing out in youth competitions. Alongside his on-field activities with Tricolor, the youngster also maintains a routine of training sessions and futsal matches with A.D. Indaiatuba.

In a post shared on his social media, the young São Paulo prospect celebrated the agreement and gave thanks for the continuation of his work at the club.

“Renewed! First of all, I thank God for this opportunity and for everything He has done in my journey. Thank you, São Paulo FC, for the trust. We move forward together,” posted ‘little Haaland’.
