The 21-year-old is a youth product of Sporting Lisbon but when his father Sergio became the head coach of Porto, the youngster followed suit in 2018. ............. The Bianconeri have already opened contacts with Porto for Conceicao’s services. The Serie A giants are reportedly offering an initial loan proposal with an obligation to buy. The source describes the Portugal international as a priority transfer target for Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli. Conceicao is a left-footed player who usually plays as an inverted winger, cutting from the right flank. .............

With Federico Chiesa destined to leave in the coming weeks, Juventus are in the market for another attacking reinforcement. Conceicao is of particular interest to Motta. The Portuguese forward has reportedly accepted Juventus’ contract proposal. What’s missing is Porto’s approval. Per reports, Juventus look to sign Conceicao on loan with an option/obligation to buy set at around €30-35 million. However, Porto prefer an outright sale. Negotiations have hit a standstill. But with the player’s consent in the bag, Motta’s men hope to overcome this impasse soon. The diminutive forward boasts impressive speed and would fit the new system at Juventus, considering Motta insists on direct football.

With less than 48 hours separating us from the club’s first Serie A contest, Thiago Motta’s squad remains in dire need of wingers. The only two options at the moment are Kenan Yildiz and Timothy Weah, since Federico Chiesa and Filip Kotstic have been outcasted. In recent weeks, Conceicao emerged as one of the main candidates to join the Old Lady’s ranks alongside Fiorentina wantaway Nico Gonzalez. ............ Conceicao is also keen to join Juventus, while Porto are willing to grant him his wish. While the formula of the transfer remains to be defined, the Portuguese will cost Juventus around 30 million euros. The Bianconeri are also planning to sign Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners for circa 60 million euros. Therefore, the management might be forced to offload some players to raise funds for the new arrivals. Juve have opted to put Miretti on the transfer list. ............

Socrates 8,252 Joined: 04-Apr-2006 132,610 posts Posted August 30 Thiago Motta is lobbying Juventus board to sign Conceicao Juventus aims to sign several players before the transfer window closes, with a winger likely to arrive in the coming days. The Bianconeri are currently in talks to add Nicolas Gonzalez to their squad, and the Argentine might not be the only player making the move to Turin. Juve has scouted several options for that position, and one player who has caught Thiago Motta’s attention is FC Porto’s Francisco Conceição. ............ Motta believes the 21-year-old has specific attributes that would make him a great fit for his team. However, Juve is struggling to finalise the deal as they are far from meeting Porto’s demands. The Bianconeri are pushing for a loan-to-buy arrangement, but the Portuguese club is not interested in this offer. ............

Socrates 8,252 Joined: 04-Apr-2006 132,610 posts Posted August 30 Juventus finalize deals for Nico Gonzalez, Francisco Conceiçao ............ According to reports out of Italy on Saturday, Juventus have finalized deals for both Fiorentina’s Nico Gonzalez as well as Porto’s Francisco Conceiçao. Not one, but two wingers will arrive in the final week of the summer transfer window and Thiago Motta will get two of the technical wide players that Giuntoli has been chasing for the better part of the last month. Both players will arrive on initial loan deals, with Gonzalez’s loan fee being €8 million with there being an obligation to buy worth a total package of around €37 million and Conceiçao costing Juve €7 million plus another €2 million in bonuses for the season-long loan. Considering how the last 24 hours have been when it comes to rumors about Juventus chasing wingers — Gonzalez, Conceiçao and Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho — it only made sense that news of the two deals being closed came in relatively short order. ............ But for now, we know that Juventus have two talented wingers about to join the squad. As we bid farewell to Federico Chiesa and scramble to learn anything we can about Samuel Mbangula, Giuntoli has secured Gonzalez, a winger who already knows Serie A quite well, and Conceiçao, who could very well bounce between both wings depending on the situation. (Remember, if Koopmeiners arrives the expectation is that Kenan Yildiz slides out wide to the left wing.) ............

Socrates 8,252 Joined: 04-Apr-2006 132,610 posts Posted August 30 Juventus medicals booked for Nico Gonzalez and Conceicao Nico Gonzalez is arriving tonight and Francisco Conceicao expected tomorrow, as Juventus make two big deals to reinforce their wings in one day. Director Cristiano Giuntoli has been hard at work over the last 24 hours, managing to secure two important reinforcements for coach Thiago Motta. The first was the agreement with Fiorentina for Nico Gonzalez, who arrives on loan for €8m with an obligation to buy for a further €25m plus up to €5m in add-ons. ............ Meanwhile, Francisco Conceicao is expected to land at Caselle Airport in Turin on Sunday, with his physical check-up scheduled for Monday. This is expected to be a dry loan, meaning there is no option to make it permanent.

As a result, they opted to bring him in on loan for around €7 million, with the expectation that he would return to Portugal at the end of the season. ............

Socrates 8,252 Joined: 04-Apr-2006 132,610 posts Posted Monday at 05:46 PM Vaciago chastises Juventus-Cagliari referee: “Players like Conceicao must be protected” Italian journalist Guido Vaciago wasn’t a fan of Livio Marinelli’s performance during yesterday’s Serie A outing between Juventus and Cagliari. The match official awarded a spot-kick for each team following a VAR review, and both were considered dubious. Nevertheless, the most controversial call in the 1-1 draw was showing Francisco Conceicao the second yellow card for simulation. ............ The Italian journalist feels that such antics will cause harm to Serie A as a whole. “Players like Francisco Coinceiçao need to be protected,” argued Vaciago. “Yesterday, this wasn’t the case, because the terrible Marinelli did exactly the opposite of what he was supposed to do. “Conceiçao suffered five fouls, was continuously mistreated by the Cagliari defenders and he tolerated it, without ever showing a card. “But when Conceiçao committed a foul, he immediately showed him the yellow card and then concluded in glory with the non-existent booking for simulation that cost the expulsion (and therefore the disqualification) of the Portuguese. “If a league like ours, in which champions are scarce and the spectacle suffers, does not protect the players who dribble their man and ignite the imagination of the fans, we can calmly prepare for a not-too-slow extinction of the already cracked myth of Serie A. “And the presumptuous Marinelli can be proud of having given his deleterious contribution, with that indignant rush of someone who is going to punish murder, without the humility to ask or review. ............

The Juventus winger was deemed to have dived, leading the referee to send him off. But was the decision correct? Replays showed that there was indeed contact between Conceição and the Cagliari defender, and many pundits believe the referee made a significant mistake. ............ Former referee Graziano Cesari has suggested that a VAR review could have helped clarify the situation. However, since it was a second yellow card, current rules do not require a VAR review for such decisions. Cesari said: “Simulation when it is such is unacceptable, but so is the fact that the VAR cannot intervene on the double yellow. We must find a solution immediately otherwise the mistakes will be destined to repeat themselves”. ............

However, despite replays suggesting the referee may have made a mistake, as there appeared to be contact, the decision has not been reversed. The sports judge has upheld the second yellow card, meaning Conceição will miss Juventus’ next game and has also been fined 2,000 euros. ............
