Juventus Transfer Market: A Massive Offer for Francisco Conceição

Alarm bells are ringing at Juventus over Francisco Conceição. According to rumors, the Saudi club Al Hilal is ready to make a substantial offer for the Portuguese winger, who is considered an alternative should Gabriel Martinelli not arrive from Arsenal.

The Saudi club is reportedly ready to put a massive offer on the table to strengthen the team coached by Simone Inzaghi, and the Portuguese international is on the list of stars favored by the Piacenza-born coach. Conceiçao is considered untouchable by Luciano Spalletti, who regards him as essential to his team, and he was also decisive against Frosinone, providing the assist for Bremer’s game-winning goal. But Juventus executives have long stated that no one is unsellable if the right offer comes along, and a very substantial offer—exceeding the 60 million euros demanded by the Bianconeri—could change the situation.

The player has been linked to Chelsea, Manchester United, and other major European clubs during this summer transfer window, but so far, no concrete moves have been made. Conceição arrived in Turin from Porto in 2025 for a fee of approximately 32 million euros.

As for potential sales that could fund Juventus’s transfer activity, the Jonathan David situation remains unresolved. The Canadian, who arrived on a free transfer from Lille last season and fell short of expectations with just 7 goals in 39 appearances, has already turned down offers from Hull City, Rennes, and Lens, waiting for a more attractive offer that has yet to materialize. His salary of 6 million euros net per season weighs heavily on the club’s finances, as Juventus did not compete in the Champions League last year and is therefore forced to operate with great caution. Until David is sold, Juventus will have its hands tied when it comes to potential attacking signings such as Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee, who has long been on the Bianconeri’s radar.
