It seems that a move to Spain is his preferred choice. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can convince him to join the club. The Brazilian could be an excellent long-term acquisition for them. He is regarded as a future star, and Manchester United could groom him into an important player. They have done well to nurture young players in the past, and they could help him fulfil his potential.

The 16-year-old needs to join a club with a clear pathway to the first team and a defined role. Sitting on the sidelines at a big club would be detrimental to his development. Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona will have to come forward with the right plan for his development if they want to get the deal done.

Also, he is highly rated at Palmeiras, and they will look to recoup as much as possible from his departure. Conceicao has also been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool.
