Al Hilal pursued Francisco Conceicao for several days for the right winger position but then decided to turn to Gabriel Martinelli. Fabrizio Romano reported that Juventus never opened to the sale of Francisco Conceicao. In a press conference, Luciano Spalletti stated that for him the player is not for sale. Spalletti explained that there had been a moment when everyone was on the market, including himself, because the team had not qualified for the Champions League. He added that the directors then balanced the accounts and that Conceicao is a strong player they want to keep.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal is considering Francisco Conceição of Juventus as an alternative target. The winger has also attracted interest from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool. Conceição has a contract until 2030, and in August 2026, reports cited Juventus's asking price as being near €60 million.
