Juventus fret over Conceição’s thigh while Inter eye Bastoni renewal

On a bright Sunday morning the Serie BKT headlines were dominated by two stories: Juventus remain uneasy about winger Francisco Conceição’s lingering thigh problem, and Inter Milan are reportedly preparing a new contract for centre‑back Alessandro Bastoni.

Juventus monitor Conceição’s thigh

Conceição picked up the injury while on international duty with Portugal, and the winger still feels discomfort. Juventus staff will assess him once he returns to Turin, hoping he will be fully available for the upcoming clash with Cagliari,

The club’s medical team is keeping a close eye on his recovery, stressing that any setback could affect his involvement in the next league fixtures.

Inter consider Bastoni’s new deal

Last spring Bastoni contemplated a move away from Inter, even after interest from Barcelona, but the Nerazzurri set a €60 million price tag that deterred suitors. Now coach Simone Inzaghi’s backroom staff, led by former defender Cristian Chivu, have revived the defender’s importance, and Inter are already looking at a fresh renewal despite his contract running until 2028.

Reports suggest the club wants to lock the Italian international down for the long term, though no figures have been disclosed.
