Early life Named after Formula One racing driver Kimi Räikkönen, Raykkonen was born in Mãe do Rio, Pará.
Career Having joined the youth sides of Goiás at the age of 13, Raykkonen signed his first professional contract with the club on 15 September 2024, agreeing to a three-year deal. On 7 February 2025 he was loaned to Internacional until January 2026, being initially assigned to the under-17 team.
