Juventus Close to Sealing Francisco Conceição Deal
Francisco Conceição is about to join Juventus permanently after a successful loan from FC Porto. The deal, worth over €30 million, is nearly done. Juventus has no rush to complete it, as Conceição has agreed to give up part of his bonuses. According to recent reports, he was signed by Juventus for this fee as confirmed.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Juventus and FC Porto have agreed on a transfer fee of more than €30 million, to be paid in four parts. This follows a financial dispute, with Porto initially wanting €30 million plus extra fees. Conceição, after a strong season in which he played 40 games and scored seven goals, will give up 20% of his bonus to make the deal happen as per reports.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Conceição’s move is part of Juventus’s efforts to strengthen their squad after securing a Champions League spot, with the club finishing fourth in Serie A last season as noted in recent updates. His performances persuaded Juventus to make his loan permanent, despite initial doubts. His versatility and fit in coach Igor Tudor’s system made him a key signing.
WHAT NEXT?
With Conceição’s transfer almost complete, Juventus will focus on other signings, like Randal Kolo Muani, to strengthen their attack. The club has also signed Jonathan David on a free transfer. Conceição’s dedication to Juventus shows his desire to grow with the team, especially since he wanted to stay at the club amidst interest from other teams.
