Reports from Italy indicate that Portuguese winger Francisco Conceição has agreed to forfeit a significant €3 million bonus owed to him by Porto. This sacrifice is intended to help facilitate his permanent transfer to Juventus.
According to Italian outlets Gazzetta and Tuttosport, Conceição was entitled to 20% of any future permanent transfer fee from Porto. However, the 22-year-old player has chosen to give up approximately €3 million of this sum to pave the way for an agreement between the Portuguese club and Juventus.
Gazzetta adds that Juventus plans to compensate Conceição for the relinquished €3 million bonus by distributing it over the term of his new long-term contract at the Allianz Stadium.
Sky Sport Italia previously reported that Juventus was nearing a permanent deal with Porto valued at €25 million, despite Conceição`s release clause being €30 million (set to increase to €45 million soon). The player`s desire to remain in Turin is clear, reportedly leading him to decline an offer from Everton, as reported by A Bola.
Based on Gazzetta`s information, Juventus is expected to pay a fixed fee of around €21-€22 million, with potential add-ons bringing the total transfer cost to between €25 million and €27 million.
Conceiçao spent the previous season on loan at Juventus, where he made 40 appearances across all competitions, contributing seven goals and six assists.
