The interest in Eduardo arose when, even before the Copinha started, Barcelona made contact and inquired about his contract conditions. Conceição signed his first professional contract at 16, which includes a release clause of 100 million euros (R$ 628 million).

The information published by Spain's Sport is that the Catalan team will not make any move for the 16-year-old player, but will closely monitor his situation. The expectation is that Eduardo will be a medium-term investment for the club.

For Palmeiras, Eduardo scored four goals and provided three assists while playing in the Copinha. The club was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the competition.
