Santos could lose 13-year-old wonderkid to another Série A club | OneFootball

Santos may lose one of its greatest youth academy gems. This is Kauan Basile, who is only 13 years old.

The youngster broke his contract with NR Sports, the company owned by Neymar’s father, and signed with a fund linked to BMG owner Ricardo Guimarães. The group had to pay a penalty to take over the management of the young player. The information was first reported by UOL.

Amid this scenario, Santos runs the risk of losing Kauan Basile. Athletico-PR is negotiating with the promising talent. The club opened the doors of the CT do Caju to the player and his family and offered him a development contract.

At Santos, the 13-year-old gem has an image licensing agreement, similar to the one previously made with Neymar. It is only permitted to sign a professional contract from the age of 16.

The club claims it has not yet been notified about a transfer and that Kauan Basile still has a contract to fulfill with the club. The release clause is R$ 2 million.

If the deal with Athletico goes through, the player’s father will have to send a letter to the São Paulo Football Federation requesting Kauan’s release from Santos.
