Manchester United face €60m hurdle or Zirkzee swap for Conceicao

Manchester United are reported to be interested in Juventus forward Francisco Conceicao, with the Italian club stating a €60 million price tag or the inclusion of Joshua Zirkzee in a swap would be required for the Portugal international to leave in the summer.

Juventus' uncertainty over Conceicao grew after the club secured Bosnia and Herzegovina starlet Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen for a total cost of €35 million, prompting questions about the Portuguese striker's future.

Conceicao was captured on camera during the Serie A clash between Juventus FC and ACF Fiorentina at the Allianz Stadium on May 17, 2026 in TURIN, ITALY, with the image credited to Chris Ricco/Getty Images.

Sky Sport Italia and Tuttosport remain confident that the situation will not derail Conceicao, who stays firmly on the radar of Manchester United, operating centrally behind the centre‑forward rather than on the right wing.

Having paid €42 million to acquire Conceicao from FC Porto, Juventus indicated that a €60 million proposal could tempt them into a sale.

An alternative route to finalising a deal would involve striker Joshua Zirkzee joining the package; Juventus are less eager to sign Zirkzee than before securing Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint‑Germain, yet they remain open to the former Bologna forward.
