Sancho Talks Remain Alive Despite Conceicao Chase
Juventus are refusing to back down in their pursuit of Jadon Sancho. Fresh contact was made with Manchester United on Saturday, June 12, with an offer of “€10 million plus bonuses”. According to Sky Sports, “the two parties are seeking an agreement”. Significantly, Juventus’ interest in the England international is not contingent on the Francisco Conceicao deal, but rather on the condition that two of their current wingers depart.
Conceicao Deal Enters Critical Phase
Discussions between Juventus and Porto over the permanent signing of Francisco Conceicao are intensifying. As per the report, “Juventus and Porto are in constant contact to reach an agreement for the permanent transfer of Francisco Conceicao”. Although the Bianconeri offered €22 million, Porto rejected the bid. Encouragingly for Juve, “the Portuguese club’s asking price has been reduced to €25 million”. With Conceicao’s release clause set to rise from €30 million to €45 million on July 16, time is of the essence.
Exit Doors Must Swing Open
Exits remain a necessity if Juventus are to land both targets. One name on the edge is Samuel Mbangula. “Werder Bremen, meanwhile, have returned to Samuel Mbangula.” The Belgian winger had been poised for Nottingham Forest, but that deal fell through. A fresh approach from Bremen could be crucial in facilitating Juventus’ plans.
Double Deal Reflects Juventus Ambition
Sancho and Conceicao would offer flair, depth and unpredictability in wide areas. The calculated offers, structured with bonuses and market-timed clauses, show Juventus are not simply stockpiling names, but strategically targeting value and versatility.

This is exactly the type of ambition we’ve been craving from the board. Locking eyes on both Jadon Sancho and Francisco Conceicao is a bold, forward-thinking move. It sends a message that Juventus are ready to compete seriously in Europe again, not just domestically. Sancho, though unsettled in Manchester, has undeniable quality. If we can get him for “€10 million plus bonuses”, it could be the steal of the window.
The Conceicao pursuit is savvy too. “The Portuguese club’s asking price has been reduced to €25 million”, and we must strike before that €45 million clause kicks in. His age, technique and intensity fit the Juve mould, and if managed right, he could develop into one of Serie A’s best.
What worries some fans, however, is the need to shift two wingers. Who goes? Will we be left short elsewhere? The Mbangula situation helps, but more exits are required. Still, this feels like Juventus are waking up from a slow rebuild. Two attacking stars in their early 20s with room to grow? That’s the kind of recruitment to get the Allianz buzzing again.
