AC Milan looking to make a move for impressive loanee from Juventus | OneFootball

Francisco Conceição could find himself at the centre of a transfer tussle this month, with AC Milan reportedly considering a move for the Portuguese winger in what could be a surprising twist to his future. Currently on loan at Juventus from FC Porto, Conceição has been an important figure for the Bianconeri since the start of the season.

Juventus, despite not having an option to buy included in the loan agreement, are keen on securing the 22-year-old’s services permanently. However, AC Milan has emerged as a serious contender, potentially complicating Juventus’ plans. According to Juve FC sources, Milan’s interest stems from a possible reunion between Conceição and his father, Sergio Conceição, who is reportedly pushing for his son to join him. Sergio, a respected manager could play a pivotal role in shaping Francisco’s next move.

Milan’s interest in the winger is tied to their intent to sell Samuel Chukwueze this month. If the Rossoneri succeed in offloading the Nigerian winger, they see Francisco Conceição as an ideal replacement. Porto would undoubtedly welcome the situation, as Milan’s involvement could spark a bidding war, increasing the likelihood of securing a higher transfer fee.

Conceição has been enjoying a productive spell in Turin, and many would argue that staying at Juventus might be the more stable choice for his career. The winger has already integrated well into the team and has found relevance in Thiago Motta’s plans. Moving to Milan, while tempting due to the prospect of reuniting with his father, carries certain risks. Should Sergio Conceição be dismissed from his managerial position at Milan—a common occurrence in football—the younger Conceição could find himself marginalised under a new coach.

Ultimately, the decision lies with Francisco Conceição. He must weigh the stability and development opportunities Juventus offers against the emotional and professional allure of joining AC Milan under his father’s guidance. Either way, this transfer saga could shape the trajectory of his career, with both clubs likely to press hard for his signature in the coming weeks.
