"According to SPORT, Barcelona are monitoring Conceicao's progress closely, as the 16-year-old has already made huge waves in his native Brazil. At 16, Conceicao, a left winger, is already competing with players five years older than him. In Brazil, he is seen as the next big thing to come out of Palmeiras' youth academy. Barcelona, for their part, are closely assessing the situation and are more than interested in acquiring the services of the youngster."
"However, Conceicao has a release clause of €100 million, with Palmeiras widely known for their tough negotiations. In the recent past, the club have sold their star talents for a fortune, with Endrick and Estevao leaving for a combined total exceeding €130 million. Barcelona, therefore, are aware that negotiations will be difficult, especially with other top European clubs also interested in his services. But despite the financial challenges, the club believe the investment in Conceicao will be worthwhile as the scouts rate him quite highly."
Barcelona have struggled to sign emerging South American talents, missing players such as Estevao, Endrick and Franco Mastantuono, and finding Vitor Roque underperformed after signing. The club continue to pursue Brazilian prospects and are monitoring 16-year-old Eduardo Conceicao, a left winger competing against players up to five years older and regarded as a top Palmeiras youth prospect. Conceicao carries a €100 million release clause, and Palmeiras negotiates hard, after selling Endrick and Estevao for over €130 million combined. Scouts rate Conceicao highly, but Barcelona's current financial constraints and competition from other European clubs make an immediate move unlikely.
