According to Brazilian media outlet Globo Esporte, Manchester United had previously opened negotiations with Palmeiras regarding Conceição's transfer, with both sides discussing the transfer fee. The initial proposal was a fixed transfer fee of 25 million euros, plus a floating clause of 15 million US dollars, for a total value of approximately 40 million euros. However, facing interest from European giants, Palmeiras currently has no plans to sell this promising young player and hopes to keep him in the team for further development.

Although Conceição has not yet made his official first-team debut for Palmeiras, his outstanding talent and potential have already attracted the attention of several top clubs, including European giants like Manchester United, Manchester City, and Barcelona.
However, as negotiations stalled during the World Cup, Palmeiras' attitude also changed. The club now hopes to keep Conceição and plans to officially integrate this young attacker into its first-team development system.
Palmeiras believes that if Conceição can establish himself in the first team, his future market value will further increase. Therefore, the club expects to set a transfer price of around 50 million euros for him in the future, which is approximately 42 million pounds.
Currently, Conceição is receiving guidance from the team's head coach and veteran players, hoping to adapt to the higher intensity competitive environment of professional football as soon as possible.
In recent years, Manchester United has always prioritized youth development as an important direction for team rebuilding.
Meanwhile, Manchester United still hopes to strengthen its attacking line. With Hojlund expected to leave and Zirkzee potentially looking for a new club before the summer transfer window closes, the team needs to bring in new attacking players.
In midfield, Manchester United is also making adjustments. It is reported that the club has invested heavily in upgrading its squad and continues to monitor targets such as Tchouaméni, Alex Scott, and Baldeba, hoping to further enhance midfield competitiveness.
For Conceição, Manchester United's interest undoubtedly proves his potential, but Palmeiras currently prefers to provide him with room to grow in the Brazilian league. Whether this 16-year-old rising star will land in Europe in the future will still depend on the player's development speed and further negotiations between the two clubs.
