Everton was reportedly the only club ready to pay Francisco Conceição's release clause of €30 million. However, the player decided against the move, as he preferred to prioritize a transfer to Juventus, where he had spent the previous season on loan. Although there have been reports linking Juventus with bids ranging from €22 million to €25 million, the club has yet to make a formal offer or initiate direct negotiations with FC Porto. Porto's management remains firm on their financial demands, insisting on the €30 million release clause. As a result, the likelihood of a transfer to Juventus seems slim, especially since the clause is soon expected to revert to its original value of €45 million.
