Francisco Conceicao could join Chelsea in a swap deal for a centre back.

Today, Juventus finally announced the signings of Randal Kolo Muani, and Kerim Alajbegovic. Adding Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao to this bunch, creates one of Serie A’s best attacks for next season. But, it is no guaranteed that all four will be at Juventus next season.

The Bianconeri still need to make sales to meet with UEFA FFP guidelines. This could mean that Juventus are forced to sell Francisco Conceicao. Manchester United and Liverpool have already shown interest in signing Conciecao which means a sale is possible, and could lead to a bidding war.

However, Gazzetta Dello Sport are now reporting that Chelsea are also interested in Conciecao this summer. Jorge Mendes the agent of Conceicao has opened talks with Chelsea to see if a deal is possible for Conciecao. Conciecao has no intent to leave Juventus this summer, but if he is forced to leave he will like to have some control over the destination.

If Chelsea do decide to pursue Conciecao the deal could rely on Benoit Badiashile. Juventus have been on the hunt for a left centre-back for all of this transfer window. Currently, their priority is Jhon Lucumi, but Juventus and Bologna can’t agree on his transfer value.

But, for Juventus to be able to sign Badiashile they will have to act quickly. Napoli have already agreed terms with Chelsea and Badiashile to bring in the french defender on a loan. The loan will have an option to buy, but Napoli need to wait before pulling the trigger on a deal.

This is because, Napoli have limited spending power in this mercato. Napoli will be forced to make sells before signing Badiashile, which is the clubs current priority. Kevin De Bryune could be sold to Galatasary, but there has been no officials talks yet, and the sale of Romelu Lukaku will bring in 10-12 million euros and save wages.
