According to Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal is considering 23-year-old Portuguese winger Francisco Conceição of Juventus as an alternative target. The Saudi club is also evaluating Pedro Neto of Chelsea as another option, with their primary target reportedly being Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal.
Conceição, who has a contract until 2030 and a Transfermarkt market value of €30.00m, has also attracted interest from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool. In August 2026, reports cited Juventus's asking price as being near €60 million and also mentioned a potential Manchester United offer of €30 million plus a player.
