Juventus Finalizing Deal with Porto to Keep Conceiçao | OneFootball

Juventus are on the brink of striking an accord with Porto to purchase Francisco Conceiçao. Only the final handshake and the official steps are missing at this point, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Porto had been adamant that the Bianconeri pay his full €30M release clause. It’ll balloon to €45M soon. In the end, the Old Lady is said to have obtained a slight discount and a more favorable payment structure. The player and his agent, Jorge Mendes, own part of his card, which help.

Conceiçao is eager to stay at Juventus and intends to give his 20 percent, saving Juventus a few million. He’ll get it back throughout his contract. The final sum will be €21/22M plus €5/6M add-ons. The Old Lady expects to shell out roughly €25M. It had already paid €10M, including commissions, to have him on loan last year. He notched 7 goals and 6 assists in 40 appearances.

The Turin-based side remains active in the talks with Jadon Sancho, Alfredo Pedullà informs. The outcast has given them his priority, but it won’t last forever. They are trying to lowball Manchester United and don’t plan to match the €25M request since he has just a year left on his deal. His salary could amount to €5.5M. The two teams are debating how to split his severance package since he’s making a lot more now, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Our Take on Juventus and Conceiçao

While he hasn’t been super consistent, he has shown enough to be confirmed. Plus, they kind of had to buy him out after spending so much for the loan. Their Sancho chase hinges on whether they’ll be able to sell Nicolas Gonzalez before other teams come forward.
