Eduardo Conceicao: United told what they must do to sign Palmeiras winger

Manchester United have exploded into the race to sign Palmeiras sensation Eduardo Conceicao.

On Monday, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming United have promised to make a bid worth €40 million (£34.8m), including add-ons, in the coming days to sign the 16-year-old right-footed left-winger

It was also suggested that United are already in contact with Conceicao’s representatives.

Palmeiras set Eduardo Conceicao price tag

According to Mundo Deportivo, Eduardo Conceicao recently signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras. The deal is valid until 2029 and includes a massive €100 million release clause.

The Spanish outlet, however, claims the Brazilian wonderkid could leave for much less by following the formula of a sale to a ‘big club’ plus a two-year development deal at Palmeiras. FIFA rules would prevent him from moving to Europe until he turns 18.

It is understood United are preparing their first offer for Conceicao, who has also been linked with Barcelona.

However, the Red Devils’ main rivals for his services are the City Football Group and Newcastle United, who have already submitted a €25m offer, excluding bonuses.
