"From a footballing point of view, Conceicao ticks many boxes that Barcelona value highly. He is a right-footed striker known for his outstanding dribbling ability. His game is built around taking on defenders, breaking lines through skill rather than force, and using his close control to destabilise defensive structures. While his natural position is on the left wing, his versatility allows him to occupy the three positions of the attack."
"Palmeiras are fully aware of the growing interest, which is why in December, when he turned 16, they shielded him with the signing of his first professional contract, tying him down until January 2029. Importantly, Barcelona have not been taken by surprise. The club already knew him, had seen him play live, and received very positive internal reports in recent months."
Eduardo Conceicao, a 16-year-old Palmeiras attacker, has burst onto the scene during the Copinha with standout performances that have drawn widespread attention across Brazil. Scouts from around Europe, including a representative from Barcelona, monitored his displays at the tournament. Conceicao is a right-footed forward renowned for outstanding dribbling, close control and the ability to break lines with skill; his natural position is left wing but he can occupy all three attacking roles. Palmeiras signed him to his first professional contract in December, tying him until January 2029. Barcelona had prior live scouting and positive internal reports, and he is popular at the Ciutat Esportiva.
