Brazil is a true factory of raw talent and jewels eager to take on the world. Currently, the world talks about Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo Goes, Endrick, Vitor Roque, André Trindade or Marcos Leonardo when referring to the new crop of talents that have come to stay. However, it must be remembered that all of these now-established stars once had notable performances in youth championships.

Therefore, it is normal that the media focus is always on new emerging talents in the lower categories and the international press has recently discovered who aims to be the next big Brazilian star: Nicolas Francisco, a 13-year-old striker from São Paulo.

The footballer from the São Paulo team has broken all the records established in the Paulista U-13 Championship, a tournament through which already established stars such as Rodrygo, Endrick, Marcos Leonardo and Gabigol have passed. Currently, Nicolas has already accumulated 32 goals in 21 games with the tricolor team, thus breaking the record set by Marcos Leonardo in 2016, who scored 25 goals.

At the time, Rodrygo scored 19 goals in 2014, while Endrick added 16 in 2018. Current Flamengo star Gabigol scored 18 goals in 2009, so Nicolas Francisco’s future looks very promising, as he has far surpassing the youth figures of world-class stars.

The striker, who arrived from Grêmio Prudente, a club where he scored more than 100 goals last year, has already accumulated almost 50 goals wearing the São Paulo shirt and could still lead them to win the league title, a competition that is defined next Monday.

Various national and international analysts agree that Nicolas Francisco could be the next big star of Brazilian football. However, he still has a long way to go in his career. In about 5/6 years, we will see if he manages to follow in the footsteps of the stars that he has already surpassed today in his beginnings in the world of football.
