Overview
- Reports on Sunday say Chelsea would target Francisco Conceição only if Pedro Neto leaves Stamford Bridge, with the move framed as a straight replacement plan.
- Multiple outlets state super-agent Jorge Mendes is steering linked talks that could see Neto move to Al-Hilal and prompt Chelsea to pursue Conceição.
- Juventus sources and Italian press say the club would seriously consider offers in the region of €40 million to help balance the squad and finances.
- Conceição has told people he prefers to stay at Juventus but his agent has been actively offering him to clubs, keeping a late-window transfer possible.
- Conceição’s role could be weakened by Juventus signing several forwards this summer, and a Neto sale would be the key trigger that determines whether Turin holds or sells him.
