Man Utd open Palmeiras talks for Man City target Conceicao

The Daily Mail says United are planning to table a £40m offer for the attacker.

Newcastle have already had an offer rising to £32m rejected by Palmeiras.

City had been regarded as favourites to sign Conceicao, particularly given their positive relationship with Palmeiras.

However, United have now opened talks with Palmeiras as a first formal offer is now due.

For their part, Palmeiras are demanding closer to £60m to part with the 16 year-old, who is also interesting Barcelona.
