Eduardo comes from Kadana in North Bohemia, where he lived until he was three years old, before the family moved to the Netherlands, where he began to develop as a football player. He was born to a Czech mother and an Angolan father. He thus has Czech citizenship, and it is possible that the national team could also help. Rather, it seems that the young football gem will be closer to the Dutch national team.

Eduardo came to the youth academy of RB Leipzig in July 2022 and immediately ranked among the talents and under the thorough scrutiny of the coaches. “Yannick Eduardo showed his quality right away, in 12 matches Bundesliga U17 scored 11 goals. For these performances, he was rewarded at the end of last season with a call-up to the U19s, where he scored twice in ten matches,” is calculated on the RB Leipzig website.

There you can also see the smiling youngster shaking hands with the club’s sporting director Rouven Schröder after signing the contract. He is signed until the summer of 2027. “Yannick Eduardo is a promising talent who has great potential. He’s good in the air, has a great left foot and is the threat you need as a striker for opponents. In the eighteen months he has been at the club, he has performed brilliantly at the youth level and scored a lot of goals,” Schröder says about the youngster.
Eduardo immediately boasted about the new life stage with a professional contract in his pocket on Instagram. “I was happy to sign the contract and I’m looking forward to a new chapter in my life,” commented the young man.
