Juventus is accelerating efforts to bring Francisco Conceição back to Turin. The Portuguese winger, who featured for the Bianconeri on loan last season, is increasingly close to a permanent return to the club. Contact between the Old Lady and Porto is constant and productive, and in recent days, the parties have seemed closer than ever to finalizing an agreement. The operation is valued at around €25 million plus bonuses, a sum Juventus is prepared to invest to secure the 2002-born player`s services permanently. This is a significant investment, but one the club considers strategic given the qualities the young Portuguese talent has demonstrated.
Igor Tudor certainly needs a player like Conceição: an element capable of breaking open games with his unpredictability, speed, and ability to beat defenders one-on-one. His impact is often decisive, especially when coming on during a match, injecting new energy into the attack. He has shown this not only in the black and white shirt but also for the national team, as seen in the Nations League against Germany, where his left foot turned the tide of the game.
This week will also be decisive for Juventus` midfield moves. Igor Tudor has requested reinforcement in that area, and the Bianconeri management aims to act promptly, although any incoming operation will depend on developments related to Douglas Luiz. The Brazilian is now on the fringes of the project, having never truly won over the technical staff, and several intermediaries are working to facilitate his return to the Premier League, where he is primarily tracked by West Ham.
A name that has strongly emerged in recent hours, previously anticipated by TMW, is Morten Hjulmand: it is confirmed that he is one of Juventus` major targets for this transfer window. The former Lecce captain, who has been in Portugal since summer 2023, is one of Sporting CP`s leaders, and now, two seasons after leaving Serie A, he is back in the thoughts of a major Italian club: Tudor`s Bianconeri. Damien Comolli has already spoken with his entourage about this possibility, finding an open door should Juve and Sporting reach an agreement.
