Edric is expected to be presented as a new signing on July 26, with the Santiago Bernabeu being the most likely option and fans in the stands, as was the case with Bape.
In fact, it is possible that the young forward speaks Spanish, having studied the language prior to his move, as the deal was agreed so long ago.
Specifically, on December 15, 2022, the Primera Division club announced that they had reached an agreement with Palmeiras, Edric and his family to sign when he turns 18, that is, on July 21, 2024.
