Juventus open talks with Porto for young Portugal international

 

 

Juventus have reportedly launched concrete attempts to sign young Porto winger Francisco Conceicao.

 

The 21-year-old is a youth product of Sporting Lisbon but when his father Sergio became the head coach of Porto, the youngster followed suit in 2018. .............

 

The Bianconeri have already opened contacts with Porto for Conceicao’s services.

 

The Serie A giants are reportedly offering an initial loan proposal with an obligation to buy. The source describes the Portugal international as a priority transfer target for Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli.

 

Conceicao is a left-footed player who usually plays as an inverted winger, cutting from the right flank. .............

FC Porto trying to convince 21-year-old forward to reject Juventus

 

 

FC Porto does not want to lose Francisco Conceição this summer amid interest from Juventus in the Portuguese attacker. .............

Juventus working on a move for Francisco Conceicao

 

 

Serie A giants Juventus are interested in FC Porto attacker Francisco Conceicao and are working on a move. ............

 

The 21 year-old already has already made over 50 appearances for Porto and 23 more for Amsterdam based team Ajax, and he could be one of a few new players to brighten up Thiago Motta’s new look Juventus attack. ............

 

Conceicao, though young, has bags of quality. He usually operates as a winger and what he lacks in size he makes up for with speed and skill. Conceicao appeared for Portugal at EURO2024 and scored a vital late winner against the Czech Republic. ............

Juventus Still Hot on Francisco Conceicao’s Heels

 

 

While working on a deal to bring Nicolas Gonzalez from Fiorentina, Juventus haven’t lost track of Porto starlet Francisco Conceicao. ............

 

With Federico Chiesa destined to leave in the coming weeks, Juventus are in the market for another attacking reinforcement. Conceicao is of particular interest to Motta. The Portuguese forward has reportedly accepted Juventus’ contract proposal. What’s missing is Porto’s approval.

 

Per reports, Juventus look to sign Conceicao on loan with an option/obligation to buy set at around €30-35 million. However, Porto prefer an outright sale. Negotiations have hit a standstill. But with the player’s consent in the bag, Motta’s men hope to overcome this impasse soon.

 

The diminutive forward boasts impressive speed and would fit the new system at Juventus, considering Motta insists on direct football.

Juventus decide to sacrifice young midfielder to raise funds for Conceicao

 

 

Juventus are reportedly eager to land Porto youngster Francisco Conceicao, while Fabio Miretti has been identified as the sacrificial lamb.

 

With less than 48 hours separating us from the club’s first Serie A contest, Thiago Motta’s squad remains in dire need of wingers. The only two options at the moment are Kenan Yildiz and Timothy Weah, since Federico Chiesa and Filip Kotstic have been outcasted.

 

In recent weeks, Conceicao emerged as one of the main candidates to join the Old Lady’s ranks alongside Fiorentina wantaway Nico Gonzalez. ............

 

Conceicao is also keen to join Juventus, while Porto are willing to grant him his wish.

 

While the formula of the transfer remains to be defined, the Portuguese will cost Juventus around 30 million euros.

 

The Bianconeri are also planning to sign Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners for circa 60 million euros.

 

Therefore, the management might be forced to offload some players to raise funds for the new arrivals.

 

Juve have opted to put Miretti on the transfer list. ............

Thiago Motta is lobbying Juventus board to sign Conceicao

 

 

Juventus aims to sign several players before the transfer window closes, with a winger likely to arrive in the coming days.

 

The Bianconeri are currently in talks to add Nicolas Gonzalez to their squad, and the Argentine might not be the only player making the move to Turin.

 

Juve has scouted several options for that position, and one player who has caught Thiago Motta’s attention is FC Porto’s Francisco Conceição. ............

 

Motta believes the 21-year-old has specific attributes that would make him a great fit for his team.

 

However, Juve is struggling to finalise the deal as they are far from meeting Porto’s demands.

 

The Bianconeri are pushing for a loan-to-buy arrangement, but the Portuguese club is not interested in this offer. ............

Juventus finalize deals for Nico Gonzalez, Francisco Conceiçao

 

 

 ............

 

 

According to reports out of Italy on Saturday, Juventus have finalized deals for both Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez as well as Porto’s Francisco Conceiçao. Not one, but two wingers will arrive in the final week of the summer transfer window and Thiago Motta will get two of the technical wide players that Giuntoli has been chasing for the better part of the last month. Both players will arrive on initial loan deals, with Gonzalez’s loan fee being €8 million with there being an obligation to buy worth a total package of around €37 million and Conceiçao costing Juve €7 million plus another €2 million in bonuses for the season-long loan.

 

Considering how the last 24 hours have been when it comes to rumors about Juventus chasing wingers — Gonzalez, Conceiçao and Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho — it only made sense that news of the two deals being closed came in relatively short order. ............

 

But for now, we know that Juventus have two talented wingers about to join the squad. As we bid farewell to Federico Chiesa and scramble to learn anything we can about Samuel Mbangula, Giuntoli has secured Gonzalez, a winger who already knows Serie A quite well, and Conceiçao, who could very well bounce between both wings depending on the situation. (Remember, if Koopmeiners arrives the expectation is that Kenan Yildiz slides out wide to the left wing.) ............

Juventus seal move for Porto’s Francisco Conceicao

 

 

Serie A giants Juventus close a deal with Porto for Francisco Conceicao’s transfer.

 

Francisco Conceicao is set to join Juventus on a season-long loan spell. The Portuguese will arrive in Turin tomorrow to complete his medical examinations and sign his contract. 

 

The Bianconeri reached an agreement with the Primeira Liga side for the player on a €7 million plus €2 million in bonuses deal. Conceicao was not called up by Porto in their last match versus Rio Ave as he was part of final negotiations. ............

Juventus medicals booked for Nico Gonzalez and Conceicao

 

 

Nico Gonzalez is arriving tonight and Francisco Conceicao expected tomorrow, as Juventus make two big deals to reinforce their wings in one day.

 

Director Cristiano Giuntoli has been hard at work over the last 24 hours, managing to secure two important reinforcements for coach Thiago Motta.

 

The first was the agreement with Fiorentina for Nico Gonzalez, who arrives on loan for €8m with an obligation to buy for a further €25m plus up to €5m in add-ons. ............

 

Meanwhile, Francisco Conceicao is expected to land at Caselle Airport in Turin on Sunday, with his physical check-up scheduled for Monday.

 

This is expected to be a dry loan, meaning there is no option to make it permanent.

 

That makes this a surprisingly costly borrowing of a talented young player for €7m plus €2m in performance-related bonuses. ............

“This boy is a prodigy.” Oppini heaps praise on new Juventus star

 

 

Francisco Conceição made his debut for Juventus in their match against AS Roma last night and demonstrated why the Bianconeri signed him. ............

 

The attacker came off the bench, and as soon as he stepped onto the pitch, he looked like one of the likeliest players to score for Juve. ............

 

After watching him in the few minutes he spent on the pitch, pundit Francesco Oppini said:

 

“For two weeks I’ve been saying on TV, radio and social media that this boy is a prodigy and that today he is considered the second best dribbler in Europe after Doku and before Mbappe’ in terms of numbers … Welcome, better late than never!” ............

Francisco Conceicao is happy with the way he is integrating at Juventus

 

 

Francisco Conceição returned to full fitness and scored a goal as Juventus defeated Genoa yesterday. The Portuguese star is thrilled with how he is settling in at the club. ............

 

 

With the FC Porto loanee back in action, Juve now boasts an exciting attack, much to the delight of the fans.

 

However, Conceição will need time to fully adapt to the demands of his new manager and the team’s system.

 

Speaking after Juve’s win against Genoa, Conceicao said:

 

“I’m very happy with my first goal, I’m very happy. I’m integrating really well into this team.” ............

Juventus secure gentleman’s agreement with Porto for Francisco Conceicao

 

 

Juventus made significant efforts to sign Francisco Conceição from FC Porto during the summer transfer window, but they were unable to complete a permanent deal. As a result, they opted to bring him in on loan for around €7 million, with the expectation that he would return to Portugal at the end of the season. ............

 

Juventus and Porto have a gentleman’s agreement in place to finalise a permanent transfer at the end of the season. Juventus and Porto share a strong working relationship, and the Italian club is optimistic that there will be no obstacles in completing the move for the talented winger once the season concludes. ............

Vaciago chastises Juventus-Cagliari referee: “Players like Conceicao must be protected”

 

 

Italian journalist Guido Vaciago wasn’t a fan of Livio Marinelli’s performance during yesterday’s Serie A outing between Juventus and Cagliari.

 

The match official awarded a spot-kick for each team following a VAR review, and both were considered dubious.

 

Nevertheless, the most controversial call in the 1-1 draw was showing Francisco Conceicao the second yellow card for simulation. ............

 

 

The Italian journalist feels that such antics will cause harm to Serie A as a whole.

 

“Players like Francisco Coinceiçao need to be protected,” argued Vaciago.

 

“Yesterday, this wasn’t the case, because the terrible Marinelli did exactly the opposite of what he was supposed to do.

 

“Conceiçao suffered five fouls, was continuously mistreated by the Cagliari defenders and he tolerated it, without ever showing a card.

 

“But when Conceiçao committed a foul, he immediately showed him the yellow card and then concluded in glory with the non-existent booking for simulation that cost the expulsion (and therefore the disqualification) of the Portuguese.

 

“If a league like ours, in which champions are scarce and the spectacle suffers, does not protect the players who dribble their man and ignite the imagination of the fans, we can calmly prepare for a not-too-slow extinction of the already cracked myth of Serie A.

 

“And the presumptuous Marinelli can be proud of having given his deleterious contribution, with that indignant rush of someone who is going to punish murder, without the humility to ask or review. ............

Former ref wants VAR to intervene on second yellow cards after Conceicao sending off

 

 

Francisco Conceição’s second yellow card for simulation against Cagliari remains the main talking point from the match.

 

The Juventus winger was deemed to have dived, leading the referee to send him off. But was the decision correct?

 

Replays showed that there was indeed contact between Conceição and the Cagliari defender, and many pundits believe the referee made a significant mistake. ............

 

Former referee Graziano Cesari has suggested that a VAR review could have helped clarify the situation.

 

However, since it was a second yellow card, current rules do not require a VAR review for such decisions. Cesari said:

 

“Simulation when it is such is unacceptable, but so is the fact that the VAR cannot intervene on the double yellow. We must find a solution immediately otherwise the mistakes will be destined to repeat themselves”. ............

Sports judge refuses to overturn Conceicao’s red card

 

 

Francisco Conceição had hoped that a sports judge would overturn the second yellow card he received against Cagliari, allowing him to play in Juventus’ next match. However, despite replays suggesting the referee may have made a mistake, as there appeared to be contact, the decision has not been reversed.

 

The sports judge has upheld the second yellow card, meaning Conceição will miss Juventus’ next game and has also been fined 2,000 euros. ............

 

This incident has reignited discussions among those who feel that Juventus is sometimes unfairly targeted by referees due to the club’s long-standing success. ............

Sergio Conceicao explains why he told his son to choose Juventus

 

 

Sergio Conceicao’s deep ties to Lazio, where he played during two successful spells, make him well-acquainted with the significance of a match between Juventus and the Rome club. As an influential figure in Lazio’s history, Conceicao’s advice for his son Francisco to join Juventus might seem surprising, considering his past. However, the senior Conceicao saw the move as a strategic step for his son’s career, recognizing the opportunities that Juventus offers. ............

 

Sergio Conceicao explained his rationale for advising the switch: “I love Lazio, but I told Chico to go to Juve because it is a top club in the world.” His endorsement of Juventus highlights the club’s stature not just within Italy but on the global stage. The opportunity to join a prestigious club like Juve, known for its rich history and success, was not one to be overlooked, even for someone with a strong connection to Lazio.

 

 

Furthermore, Conceicao emphasised the importance of humility in his advice to his son, saying, “You are strong but remain humble.” This message reflects his belief that hard work and modesty are essential for Francisco to thrive at a top-level club like Juventus. He encouraged his son to seize the opportunity, knowing that joining Juve could significantly enhance his career prospects in a way that few other clubs could. ............

Juventus Ready to Invest to Keep Conceiçao Permanently

 

 

Juventus are satisfied with what they have seen with Francisco Conceiçao and have already started negotiating with Porto to acquire him. The ongoing loan deal doesn’t have an option to buy, but the attacker will have a €30M release clause next summer.

 

According to Sky, the Bianconeri will end up signing him permanently for about €33/34M. They shelled out €7M to have him this campaign, wages included. He has appeared four times so far, missing a few games due to a thigh problem, scoring twice and providing one assist. ............

 

That’d be quite the disbursement, considering they’ll pay €35M for Nicolas Gonzalez in the same role, but his early showings justify it.  ............

Juventus have a card to play to get a discount on Conceicao

 

 

Juventus are keen to sign Francisco Conceicao on a permanent basis next summer, as his loan stint got off to a spectacular start.

 

The Bianconeri secured the services of the young Portuguese winger until the end of the season for a loan fee worth 7 million euros. However, Juve do not have an obligation or an option to buy the player at the end of the campaign, but a mere gentlemen’s agreement with Porto which gives them the option for a first refusal.

 

Moreover, the 21-year-old’s contract with the Dragao includes a release clause worth 30 million euros that will become valid next summer. ............

 

The Bianconeri will offer the services of Tiago Djalo as part of the package to sign Conceicao permanently. ............

 

 

Djalo failed to impress Thiago Motta in pre-season, so the club sent him on loan to Porto where he’s beginning to find his feet again.

 

Therefore, the Portuguese giants could be interested in keeping the centre-back beyond the current campaign. If so, this would open the door for a direct swap that allows Juventus to get a comprehensive discount on Conceicao’s 30-million price tag. ............

Francisco Conceicao: ‘I don’t see myself just passing through at Juventus….’

 

 

Young Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao recently shared his thoughts on the art of dribbling and his football philosophy in an interview. Coming from a family deeply rooted in football, with his father Sergio Conceicao as a coach and four brothers who also play the sport, Francisco has quickly made a name for himself. 

 

Francisco, you are the most talented and famous…

“Dad tells me and my brothers to always be ourselves: if you’re happy, you can pull off the perfect dribble in a match.” ............  

 

“Francisco has football in his blood,” says Thiago Motta. True?

“For me, football is everything… my mood is closely linked to what happens in the match: I try to keep work and family separate, but often I can’t, and so at home, I carry a bit of nervousness if things don’t go as they should.”

 

Dribbling as your mission.

“I draw inspiration from street football, a way of thinking that engages fans’ interest: people come to the stadium to find creativity, to get excited watching a play that can bring joy. I will never lose sight of this perspective.” ............

 

Can one-on-one be coached?

“It can be improved, but you have to feel it within you.”

 

Do you like to feel the pressure on you, or is it better to shake it off?

“I strongly believe that winning should be a necessity: I lived a bit in Amsterdam, at Ajax, quite a bit at Porto, and now at Juve. Historic clubs and clubs where it matters to finish ahead of others.” ............

.

How does Papa Sergio try to stay close to you?

“We talk before and after every match, but he never intervenes on tactical themes or strategic situations that belong to the technical aspects, he keeps his distance from that. In our phone calls, we talk about me, how I feel, how I should face the challenge from a mental point of view.” ............

.

Will Turin intrigue you also in the near future?

“I don’t see myself as just passing through with this jersey, I can’t make other statements because it’s not up to me to make them. But I like the Juve project…” ............
