Palmeiras’ young star Eduardo Conceição (16) is reportedly on Paris Saint-Germain’s radar, with the club having already made contact with his entourage, according to ESPN Brazil.
Manchester City, who are said to be prepared to offer the Brazilian club a fee of around €40 million, Chelsea and FC Barcelona are also understood to be interested in securing the services of the young winger.
All this despite the fact that the forward, a product of Verdão’s academy – which value him at around €100 million – has yet to make his professional debut for the São Paulo-based club. However, this hasn’t stopped him from generating a lot of buzz, having particularly shone at the Copinha – a tournament featuring mainly the region’s best under-20 teams – where he scored four goals and provided three assists in seven appearances.
Currently on a trip to Paraguay with the Brazilian Under-17s squad to compete in the South American Championship for the category, Conceição has already distinguished himself as one of the best players in the competition.
Highly sought-after, an offer of nearly €25 million for him was reportedly turned down by Palmeiras a few weeks ago. Further proof, if any were needed, of the value placed on him.
