FC Barcelona is actively pursuing Brazilian forward Eduardo Conceicao, currently with Palmeiras, as part of their summer transfer plans. Sporting director Deco has re-engaged with Palmeiras after previously targeting another player from the club, Vitor Roque, who was sold to Palmeiras in early 2025. Deco met with Conceicao's representatives in January, indicating Barcelona's serious interest. Recent reports suggest that club-to-club discussions have taken place, with Barcelona keen to finalize a deal. However, they face stiff competition from Manchester City, who have already made a €40 million bid for the talented 16-year-old. Palmeiras is likely to demand around €60 million, similar to the fee received from Real Madrid for another young star, Endrick. Barcelona is prepared to meet this valuation, as the financial impact would not be recorded until Conceicao officially joins in the 2027-28 season. The club sees him as a promising addition who could replace Raphinha on the left wing or serve as an attacking midfielder.
