Juventus are reportedly demanding £60 million for Francisco Conceicao, with Manchester United showing interest in the winger. The Serie A club are also looking to sign Joshua Zirkzee in a separate deal, according to reports.
Conceicao's situation at Juventus
Conceicao, 23, joined Juventus permanently last summer after a loan spell from Porto, with the Italian club paying a £9 million loan fee followed by £27 million. He has attracted interest from Liverpool as well.
Juventus have already signed another wide player, Kerim Alajbegovic, this summer, leading to speculation they are open to selling the Portugal international. Tuttomercato suggests Alajbegovic's arrival may be a strategic move to allow Conceicao to leave.
Zirkzee's potential return to Italy
Zirkzee, who has dropped down United's pre-season pecking order, is reportedly open to a return to Italy. Any move is likely to be a loan with an option or obligation to buy, similar to Barcelona's signing of Marcus Rashford last summer. The former United striker is due back at the club in a couple of weeks, which could impact interest in Conceicao.
If Rashford stays, United may not pursue another winger. If Zirkzee departs, a new striker could be signed, but it is not a high priority. Benjamin Sesko is expected to have a more prominent role, while Bryan Mbeumo played as a centre-forward in a pre-season friendly against Atletico Madrid. Matheus Cunha has also returned to Carrington and could start up front.
