From father to son. As if they have a time machine, Juventus have managed to bring together some of the great names of Italian football from the turn of the millennium all in one place. From Weah to Thuram, and even Chiesa – though maybe not for much longer – the list of the offspring of great Serie A stars at Allianz Stadium has now been extended with Francisco Conceição.The son of Sérgio Conceição, the former Porto coach and once a winger for Lazio, Parma, and Inter, was officially presented today at Juventus, where he is expected to replace Enrico Chiesa’s son, Federico, and compete for a starting spot with the heir of George Weah, Timothy, while they will have Khephren Thuram, Lilian’s son, covering their backs.Ufficiale | Francisco Conceição è un giocatore della Juventus 💥⚪️⚫️Bem-vindo! 🇵🇹— JuventusFC (@juventusfc) August 27, 2024 Juventus brought in the popular ‘Chico’ under very strange, somewhat incomprehensible terms, agreeing on a loan with Porto, after which they will not have the option to buy the 21-year-old winger. For this service, they will pay €7 million, with an additional €3 million possible through bonuses tied to team results and Francisco’s performance during the current season.Conceição came up through the ranks at Porto and has spent the majority of his career there, except for the 2022/23 season and a brief, unsuccessful stint at Ajax. However, after returning home, he played to his potential and had a successful season (eight goals and as many assists across all competitions), after which he decided to test his abilities and show everyone whether he is ready for the highest level.Brave new Juve! Another round, another 3-0 winThe Portuguese winger thus became the seventh signing in the Thiago Motta era, following the arrivals of the above-mentioned Thuram, Douglas Luiz, Juan Cabal, Nico González, Michele Di Gregorio and Pierre Kalulu. But the Old Lady is not stopping there, as according to the latest reports, Teun Koopmeiners is also on his way to Turin. Juventus have broken Atalanta’s resistance, with the Bergamo club agreeing to a €59 million package deal, and the Dutch midfielder is expected to arrive at Allianz Stadium soon for a medical and to sign a five-year contract with the Bianconeri.##NAJAVA_MECA_8298172##
