Officially Official: Juventus Sign Francisco Conceição from Porto

There was a degree only a few quick months in the past the place Francisco Conceição sticking round at Juventus regarded extraordinarily unlikely. He had seen a supervisor who wished his wingers to be high-volume gamers fired and a brand new coach are available in who didn’t play with wingers in any respect. Due to that, Conceição’s match at Juve past the 2024-25 was only a full unknown — and the early enjoying time beneath Igor Tudor that the diminutive obtained was reflective of that.

However, issues modified. They usually modified for the higher.

Now, simply a few months later, we all know precisely the place Conceição’s future goes to be performed. That, my pals, will are available in black and white stripes.

Juventus introduced on Tuesday afternoon that they’ve formally signed the 22-year-old Portuguese winger outright from FC Porto after Conceição spent final season on mortgage in Turin. In a Juventus local weather that had the deal wanting like it might be a lock to all of the sudden not wanting all that prone to now again to Conceição being signed outright, the Bianconeri have paid a complete of €30.2 million to Porto to deliver the shifty No. 7 in on a everlasting foundation. The deal, which was reportedly closed final week, noticed Juventus get issues accomplished simply earlier than a clause in Conceição’s contract went up one other €15 million or so and would have made issues even that rather more tough to get accomplished.

Together with his transfer to Turin now everlasting, Conceição has signed a contract by 2030 with Juventus.

Listed below are the complete particulars of the deal, courtesy of Juventus’ press workplace:

Turin, 22 July 2025 – Juventus Soccer Membership S.p.A. publicizes that an settlement with Porto FC for the definitive acquisition of the registration rights of the participant Francisco Fernandes da Conceição has been reached for a consideration of € 30.4 million, payable in 4 monetary years, with the addition of ancillary prices as much as € 1.6 million.

Juventus and the participant have signed a contract of employment till the 30 June 2030.

There you go, people. After weeks of uncertainty about if a deal would truly get accomplished, the penultimate day earlier than preseason coaching will get underway sees certainly one of Juve’s huge query marks from final season’s roster truly settled.

Whereas there are nonetheless questions as as to if or not Conceição can slot in Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 setup, the easy proven fact that they’ve made this sort of funding — don’t overlook that he additionally value as a lot as €10 million price of a mortgage payment final summer season — is that the membership is assured that he could make an adjustment to not enjoying so extensive like he did beneath Thiago Motta.

The hope, in fact, is that with extra time in Tudor’s system signifies that Conceição will solely really feel that rather more comfy. And with it, the pure playmaking potential that he has will begin to actually present on a constant foundation.

The consistency is what many can say remains to be eluding Conceição regardless of all of the expertise he has in his 5-foot-7 body. Whereas he had his share of shiny moments final season, there have been additionally loads of video games wherein he left quite a bit to be desired. In 37 video games throughout all competitions final season, Conceição completed with 5 objectives and 4 assists. However, as Juve’s web site is fast to notice, he additionally did the next:

— Since arriving final August, solely Kenan Yildiz (84) has accomplished extra dribbles than Conceicao (71) amongst Juventus gamers throughout all competitions.

— No Juventus participant has created extra capturing alternatives for teammates after a profitable dribble – 4 possibilities, tied with Andrea Cambiaso.

So there are issues to love about Conceição turning into a Juventus participant on a everlasting foundation. Now there’s solely factor for him to do — flip these good moments into a way more widespread incidence. He does that, and the €30 million price ticket Juve simply paid to Porto will seem like a reasonably good piece of enterprise.
