Newcastle chase heating up after opening bid, club could sell player for €40m

Newcastle United are interested in signing the Palmeiras attacker Eduardo Conceicao.

The 16-year-old is a youth player for the Brazilian club, but he is highly rated in South America. He has been linked with Arsenal in the past. Newcastle have already submitted an offer of around €25 million to get the deal done, but their offer has been turned down, according to RTI Esporte. The Brazilian outfit is holding out for a fee of €40 million for the young attacker.

The report claims that Liverpool and Barcelona are monitoring his progress and have been in contact with his representatives.

Eduardo Conceicao could be a future star

It is a lot of money for an unproven player at the highest level. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle is prepared to break the Bank for him. He would be a long-term investment for them. Conceicao has the potential to develop into a quality player with the right guidance, and he might be able to justify the outlay in future. The 16-year-old is a left winger who can operate on either flank.

Conceicao has yet to make his mark for Palmeiras’ first team, and moving to England might be too soon for him. He is unlikely to get any first-team opportunities with Newcastle if he joins the club in the summer. He should look to continue playing regularly at the youth level for now and continue his development. If Newcastle end up signing him in the summer, they should look to send him out on loan so that he can play at a competitive level regularly.

It is exciting that Newcastle are looking to build for the future by signing some of the top talents around, but they also need to invest in players who can make an immediate impact. They have looked mediocre going forward this season, and signing a quality attacker should be an absolute priority for them in the summer.

That’s according to a report from UOL Esporte, which also mentions the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City as clubs eyeing up the talented teenager, who has been compared with Vinicius Junior.

The report also adds that his club expect him to end up moving for a fee of around €60m, similar money to Endrick and Estevao Willian.

Conceicao looks like a huge prospect to be attracting so much serious interest when he’s still only 16 years of age, and it will be intriguing to see how this saga unfolds.

Eduardo Conceicao transfer interest hots up

It seems Palmeiras have already had offers coming in for Conceicao, with UOL’s report mentioning that the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man City have also contacted the player.

It is surely inevitable that this Brazilian wonderkid will be on the move soon, and his suitors from the Premier League will no doubt hope he can live up to his potential as the next Vini Jr.

Vinicius has become a world class player during his time at Real Madrid, and it’s easy to forget that he joined as a relative unknown when he was a youngster.

Endrick is yet to repeat that kind of success at the Bernabeu, but Estevao has shown huge promise in his first season at Chelsea.
