Arsenal ‘signal interest’ to €100m Brazilian gem’s ‘representatives’ | OneFootball

Arsenal have made it clear to the agents of Eduardo Conceicao that they want to bring him to the Emirates Stadium, according to a Brazilian report, but TEAMtalk can reveal which club the Palmeiras prodigy wants to move to.

Conceicao has emerged as one of the brightest young talents in Brazilian football, and Arsenal are among the clubs that are showing a keen interest in him.

According to UOL, Arsenal are among the clubs who have ‘signalled their interest to the player’s representatives’ about a deal for Conceicao.

Conceicao is only 16 at the moment, so Arsenal will not be able to officially bring him to North London until December 2027, when he turns 18.

That has not stopped the Gunners from making moves for the youngster, who is able to play as a left-winger and as an attacking midfielder.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have also contacted the teenager’s agents to make them aware of their interest, while Man Utd are said to be planning a bid for Conceicao.

The Brazilian news outlet has added that Palmeiras want €50million (£43.5m, $59m) for Conceicao, although the release clause in his contract is double for clubs outside of Brazil.

UOL has noted: ‘Palmeiras confirm that, even before signing his first professional contract, Eduardo was already attracting the attention of major European teams, and they received inquiries about the young player.

‘After his standout performance in the Copinha (Sao Paulo Junior Cup), Edu signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras, running until January 2029.

‘His release clause for clubs outside of Brazil is €100 million (£87m, $117.7m)’.
