Conceiçao Future at Juventus Yet to Be Determined | OneFootball

Francisco Conceiçao has long been considered a lock to stay at Juventus permanently even though he joined on loan with no option to buy. However, it’s no longer the case due to a few factors, Relevo’s Mattia Moretto informs (via Tribuna).

The Old Lady must shell out €30M to retain the winger after paying €7M to have him this campaign. They’ll have to make some sacrifices if they don’t qualify for the Champions League, and he could be among those. Moreover, the speedster might not be too keen on staying in a side that doesn’t participate in the top continental competition.

Moreover, the future of Thiago Motta could impact the decision by the Juventus brass on Conceiçao. If the boss was axed, which is increasingly likely at least at the end of the season, the Old Lady would revise their transfer market plans based on the new manager and his ideas.

The 22-year-old got off to a brilliant but has also dealt with a few muscular injuries. He has registered 5 goals and 5 assists in 30 appearances. He’s under contract with Porto until 2029. The dialogue between the parties is on standby at the moment.

Our Take on Juventus and Conceiçao

His campaign hasn’t lived up to expectations only because they were sky-high after his early showings. More than everything, since his valuation is okay, he could pay the price for a coaching and schematic change. As a left-footed right-winger with a limited work rate, he’s an ultra-specific type of player that doesn’t fit many formations. While he has some stuff to work on, he has great class and talent, which should be enough not to let him go regardless.
