Palmeiras restructures plans for Eduardo Conceicao amid City interest

Palmeiras has decided to focus on the internal development of 16-year-old forward Eduardo Conceicao, halting potential transfer discussions with Manchester City and Manchester United. The Brazilian club has issued a new contract for Conceicao that includes an £85 million release clause and indicated they want around £42 million should they sell in the future. The shift in strategy follows the cooling of negotiations, as Conceicao cannot officially move to a European club until he turns 18. This decision comes amidst escalating interest in the player from various top European clubs due to his performances at the U17 World Cup and for Palmeiras' U20 side.
