Manchester United have reportedly identified Juventus winger Francisco Conceição as one of their top attacking targets for the summer transfer window, with new head coach Michael Carrick believed to be a strong admirer of the Portuguese international.
According to TuttoJuve, while The Guardian has also highlighted Manchester United’s search for attacking reinforcements, Conceição has emerged as a profile that perfectly matches Carrick’s tactical vision thanks to his pace, creativity, and ability to beat defenders in one-on-one situations.
Juventus Set Price Tag
Conceição enjoyed an outstanding campaign with Juventus after completing his permanent move from Porto in the summer of 2025.
The winger quickly established himself as a regular starter under Luciano Spalletti, becoming one of the Italian coach’s most trusted attacking weapons.

His explosive speed, technical dribbling, flair, and ability to create numerical superiority have made him a key figure in Juventus’ long-term project. As a result, the Bianconeri have no intention of letting him leave easily.
Reports suggest Juventus value the 23-year-old at around €50 million, a fee that would allow the club to make a significant capital gain compared to the amount invested just one year ago.
The valuation underlines just how highly the Turin giants rate the Portuguese star and why they are unwilling to entertain offers below their asking price.
Only an Extraordinary Offer Could Change Juventus’ Stance
Manchester United believe Conceição possesses all the qualities needed to thrive in the Premier League.
Carrick is said to particularly appreciate the winger’s ability to eliminate defenders, create scoring opportunities, and operate effectively on either flank, making him an ideal fit for United’s attacking rebuild.
Despite the growing interest from Old Trafford, Juventus remain firm in their position. Conceição is considered a crucial part of Spalletti’s plans for the upcoming season and has not been placed on the list of players available for transfer.

Unless Manchester United table an exceptional offer well above market expectations, Juventus are expected to resist any attempts to prise one of their most valuable attacking assets away from Turin.
According to TuttoJuve, only a truly irresistible proposal would force the club’s hierarchy to reconsider their stance.
