Brazil: Barça keeping tabs on 16-year-old talent

Eduardo Conceição, the 16-year-old Brazilian forward developed at Palmeiras, is making serious waves. In a Copa São Paulo match, he stole the show by netting four goals and providing two assists.

This standout performance has caught the eye of several European clubs, including FC Barcelona, who, according to the daily Sport, are closely monitoring his progress. Regarded as one of the breakout stars of early 2026, Conceição impresses with his technique, dribbling skills, and his ability to make the difference in front of goal.

A versatile attacker, he can play across the entire front line. At just 16, he already stands 1.80 meters tall and competes alongside older players. Last December, he signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras, keeping him at the club until 2029.
