Man Utd offer SWAP DEAL for Conceição

Juventus are preparing to complete two significant arrivals, but those deals are expected to trigger important departures as the club looks to balance its finances.

According to Calciomercato, the Bianconeri are close to sealing the signings of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain and highly-rated youngster Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen, with the combined investment expected to exceed €90 million.

The aggressive spending reflects the club’s determination to give head coach Luciano Spalletti the squad he wants before shifting focus to player sales in the coming weeks.

Jonathan David Expected to Leave Despite Desire to Stay

With Juventus’ financial situation still requiring careful management, several high-profile players have emerged as potential departures.

One of the leading candidates is Jonathan David, despite the Canadian striker expressing his desire to remain in Turin.

David, who joined Juventus on a free transfer after leaving Lille, is under contract until 2030 on a reported salary of €6 million per season.

However, the club is prepared to sacrifice him in order to generate funds for the transfer market.

Juventus are reportedly seeking €30 million for the striker. Interest has been strongest from Ligue 1, where Rennes and especially Paris FC are monitoring his situation.

In England, both Crystal Palace and Aston Villa have made preliminary enquiries but have yet to make concrete moves.

Manchester United Plot Conceição Move With Zirkzee Proposal

Another player attracting serious attention is Francisco Conceição, who was signed permanently from Porto last summer after an impressive loan spell.

Juventus invested around €42 million in total for the Portuguese winger, including the initial loan fee and bonuses, and now value him at approximately €60 million.

Conceição has become one of Juventus’ most valuable attacking assets, recording 11 goals and 11 assists in 82 appearances across two seasons.

His performances have caught the eye of Manchester United, who are looking to strengthen their attack with a player possessing his pace and creativity.

Super-agent Jorge Mendes is reportedly working on the deal and could soon present Juventus with a formal offer. According to reports from England, United are considering including Joshua Zirkzee as part of the negotiations.

The Dutch forward is highly appreciated by Luciano Spalletti and is also on Roma’s shortlist. Zirkzee remains under contract with Manchester United until 2029, with an option to extend until 2030, and earns around €3.5 million net per season.

With Michael Carrick not viewing Zirkzee as an untouchable player, a cash-plus-player proposal involving the Dutch striker and Conceição is becoming an increasingly realistic possibility.

As Calciomercato reports, Juventus are now entering a crucial phase of their summer transfer window, where outgoing deals could be just as important as the arrivals.
