Juventus are intensifying its efforts to bolster its attacking options in the final week of the summer transfer window. While negotiations for Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez and Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho are ongoing, the Italian giants have not lost sight of Portuguese winger Francisco Conceiçao.
Calciomercato detail how, in a significant development, Conceiçao was notably absent from Porto’s squad for their upcoming home match against Rio Ave. Portuguese newspaper Record suggests this omission is due to an “imminent transfer to Juventus.” Porto’s coach, Vitor Bruno, added fuel to the speculation by confirming, “He’s of interest to big clubs and could leave.”
The 21-year-old Conceiçao, who is under contract with Porto until June 2029, has been a valuable asset for the Portuguese club. In his 93 appearances, he has contributed 11 goals and 13 assists, showcasing his potential as an exciting attacking talent.
Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, appears to be orchestrating a major overhaul of the team’s attacking lineup. If the club succeeds in offloading Federico Chiesa to Barcelona and Filip Kostic to Fiorentina, Giuntoli aims to secure three new attacking wingers for manager Thiago Motta before the transfer window closes.
