If its the clutch release bearing being bad it can squeal/squeak until pedal pressure is applied which puts pressure on the bearing.

Was a new release bearing fitted with the other clutch parts?

I don't think you should introduce any grease to the system, the release bearing is sealed enough not to benefit but the other parts are exposed enough to get contaminated.

Copper grease is not recommended for clutch parts because it can dry up the correct grease for the shaft is Mokykote BR2 Plus (Amazon) MoS2 type grease for extended life.
Or an alternative could be this multipuropse moly grease.

28000 is a low mileage for a clutch, why did it get changed?
