FC Porto manager answers questions about Francisco Conceição

Juventus has taken their interest in Francisco Conceição up a notch, and his manager has shared some information about the potential transfer.

FC Porto was to get a good amount from his departure and has rejected Juventus’ first offer to sign Conceição.

Thiago Motta wants the winger on his squad, and he is eager to add him to his club at the Allianz Stadium.

But, Porto seemed to be getting ready for the new season with Conceição in their plans. Vitor Bruno, insists that he does not know much about Juve’s interest in the winger’s future.

The Porto manager said, Conceição is not available to play because of an injury. A quote by Tuttomercatoweb said: “Whether there are negotiations or not, I honestly don’t know. He’s had a muscle problem since Tuesday, it’s not a taboo. There’s no deception here, we hope that tomorrow he can join the working group and then return to full strength next week. If he’s in negotiations I can’t tell you”.

Juventus responded by saying that managers may not always be the best people to ask information about a player’s future and Conceição is no different. 

If Porto agrees to a deal with Juve, all the player needs to do is tell the manager that he is leaving, and the manager will adjust their plans accordingly.
