European: PSV sign up Brazilian prodigy

PSV Eindhoven have snapped up a 13-year-old Brazilian player that is already being described as a superstar of the future. Nicao - whose full name is Maicon Vinicius da Silva - has been signed on non-professional terms and will be given schooling and a home in Holland by PSV.

Nicao is not allowed to sign professional terms until he turns 16, but the orphan's legal guardian - his grandmother- will receive a retainer of $500 a month. The teenager will also continue to play in the Brazilian youth league, commuting between the two countries for different seasons.

a nicel little sum for his grandmother, which will aid her pension. just 13 though, it doesnt say where he plays though.

if he turns into a superstar, i guess with the link chelsea have with psv, chelsea will nab him lol

He has a long way to go and he might not turn out to be a superstar, would be a waste of money then lol...
