Given an example like:

    auto concept Conv<typename T, typename U> {
      U::U(T&&);
      U::U(const U&);
      U::~U();
    };

    template<typename U, typename T>
    requires Conv<T*, U*>
    U* f(T* p) {
      return static_cast<T*&&>(p);
    }

There is currently no normative wording that makes a T* convertible to a U* in the return statement.

One possible approach would be to take the concept map archetype as specifying an additional case for the pointer conversions in 7.3.12 [conv.ptr].
