Eduardo Gabriel Aquino Cossa

Grêmio sold him to FC Porto in July 2021 for €15 million, spread across four instalments over two years. 70% of the fee went to Grêmio, the rest to Foz do Iguaçu Futebol Clube. Grêmio also kept a 12.5% sell-on clause.

Pepê — the name he plays under — made 14 appearances and scored five goals at Foz do Iguaçu before Grêmio paid around R$ 1.5 million for him in April 2016. There was a youth loan to Coritiba that year, then a senior debut in 2017. He stayed five seasons, scoring 27 goals in 113 league matches and winning the Campeonato Gaúcho four years running, from 2018 to 2021.

The medals came quickly and kept coming — the Primeira Liga in 2021–22 and again in 2025–26, the Taça de Portugal three seasons in a row from 2021–22, the Taça da Liga in 2022–23, the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira in 2022 and 2026. In 2023 the club's supporters and staff named him Dragão de Ouro , Porto's player of the year.

Brazil came later. He has two caps.
