Manchester United team officials believe they have found the future football genius.

UOL reports that the Premier League team intends to submit a €40 million offer for Palmeiras forward Eduardo Conceição.

The 16-year-old player has already caught the attention of many clubs across the Old Continent, but the Manchester club is preparing to surpass them all.

E. Conceição shone at the South American U17 Championship, scoring 2 goals, providing 2 assists, and helping his team secure third place.

It is claimed that Palmeiras would like to receive a slightly larger sum for the talent – €50 million.

If both parties agree on the transfer, the Brazilian will be able to arrive in England in December 2027 – when he turns 18.
