Chelsea and Liverpool have told Francisco Conceição their asking price
The transfer fee could be around 65 million euros in the summer, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool or Chelsea will make a formal offer to finalize the deal. They have the financial power to buy him.
Juventus wouldn’t want to lose a talented player like him and consider him an “indispensable” asset. His contract runs until 2030, making it difficult for Liverpool or Chelsea to sign him. They will have to pay a premium to convince Italian clubs.
The player is described as having “elite” talent. He has the physical and technical attributes of English football and could add a new dimension to Liverpool or Chelsea’s attack.
Both clubs may use Conceição.
Liverpool need to replace Salah properly in the summer. He has been a part of Liverpool’s attack for years, but it remains to be seen whether the team can fill his void.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are also looking for more quality on the flanks. Players like Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens have not been able to live up to expectations since joining the club. The Blues need more speed and unpredictability down the flanks.
Conceicao could be a good long-term investment for them.
