Juventus is actively working on multiple fronts in the transfer market, with a primary objective for mid-July: to significantly strengthen its attacking department. This strategy involves both confirming players who were already part of the squad last season and integrating new, high-profile talents.
Francisco Conceicao falls into the first category and is increasingly close to making his stay at Juventus permanent for the upcoming season and beyond. The deal to secure the talented Portuguese winger on a definitive basis has been finalized at his release clause value of 30 million euros. The Bianconeri have cleverly structured this payment to be spread across three installments, effectively “bypassing” the immediate lump sum. Concurrently, the player has given his crucial approval, particularly regarding his 20% share of the transfer fee, which he is set to receive.
Another player Juventus aims to keep is Randal Kolo Muani. However, Paris Saint-Germain is currently unwilling to consider any loan solutions, neither with an option nor an obligation to buy. The French forward is expected back at PSG`s training ground next Wednesday, July 23rd, for individual training. This follows his participation in the Club World Cup with Juventus, a tournament that concluded for the Bianconeri in the round of 16 against Real Madrid.
Jadon Sancho, conversely, would be a prominent new addition, representing a headline signing for the club. Negotiations are progressing well, with a general agreement already reached for a four-year contract worth approximately 6 million euros plus performance-based bonuses. The agreement between the clubs is also nearly finalized: Manchester United is reportedly convinced to accept an offer of around 17.5 million euros for the player`s transfer fee. The final hurdle appears to be the severance pay the player is requesting to leave Manchester, which is estimated to be between 5 and 6 million euros.
