European clubs want Eduardo Conceicao
Recruiters and delegates from around Europe are reportedly in contact with Conceicaoâs entourage right now in Paraguay - where he is starring for his national team at No10 in the South American U17 Championships.
Liverpool will need to act fast however as it looks like Manchester City are currently ahead in the race for Eduardo Conceicao.
Thatâs according to a new report in ESPN Brazil which claims Cityâs prior relationship with Palmeiras over deals for Gabriel Jesus and Vitor Reis put them ahead of the competition.
âManchester City is the club that is getting closest to signing the 16-year-old and has been trying to 'close the net' to prevent other clubs, especially English rivals who are the most interested in Eduardo, from approaching,â the report reads.
âThe Citizens' idea is to reach an agreement as soon as possible and pay a value close to 40 million euros (R$ 240 million) for the jewel.â
