Transfer news – Young Brazilian talent on trial at Paris Saint-Germain | OneFootball

Bruno Aquiles, 16 years old, defender for EC Meia Noite, has been on trial at Paris Saint-Germain for two weeks, according to a message posted by GnclvsScout. Spotted in Brazil after a Copinha where he was one of the key players for his team, the young player born in 2010 exemplifies the scouting and evaluation work carried out around the Parisian academy.

This type of trial mainly illustrates a method: PSG does not “recruit” based on a video, it observes a player in a controlled environment, over several sessions, in contact with daily demands (pace, adaptation, understanding instructions, concentration). Bruno Aquiles arrives with a strong signal: the Copinha, a major showcase for youth football in Brazil, where EC Meia Noite stood out and attracted attention, to the point of being closely followed even from France. According to the Brazilian press, the defender is right-footed, born in Jaú (São Paulo), joined Meia Noite in 2025 and quickly moved up a category to compete in the tournament. For Paris, the objective is clear: identify early, verify on site, then decide without rushing.

At 16, a trial does not automatically mean a quick signing: FIFA regulations strictly govern international transfers of minors, with specific exceptions. In this context, these trial periods often serve to establish monitoring, measure integration potential, and prepare for the future… without skipping steps.
