Overview
- Manchester City are described by ESPN reports on Wednesday as frontrunners and are trying to fast‑track an agreement at around €40 million.
- Manchester United are in contact with Palmeiras and are preparing a formal offer of roughly €40 million, according to multiple reports.
- Palmeiras rejected Newcastle’s €25 million plus €15 million add‑ons proposal and are holding out for a higher fixed price.
- Barcelona sources told Spanish media there is no active pursuit and said their name is being used to drive up the player’s valuation.
- Any deal would be a forward arrangement because FIFA bars an international transfer until January 2028, and interest is based on his U‑20 and Brazil U‑17 displays rather than senior minutes.
