Eduardo Pape Transfer from Cruzeiro U20 to AFC Bournemouth
Several European clubs are interested in Cruzeiro midfielder Eduardo Pape. Bournemouth, Manchester City, and Chelsea watched the 17-year-old after his performances at the South American under-17 championship earlier in the year. Arsenal and Newcastle United are also monitoring the player's development. Bayern Munich sent a scout to watch Pape, while sources have also credited Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, and Monaco with an interest. Pape's contract runs until 2029 and includes a €100 million international release clause, but sources indicate Cruzeiro is seeking a sale price of approximately €40 million. No formal offers have been made, as most clubs are monitoring him from a distance and waiting until he turns 18, partly because age restrictions complicate a potential move to the Premier League. Cruzeiro is currently under no pressure to sell and is expected to continue his development.
