According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have set their sights on Porto winger Francisco Conceiçao as an alternative to Jadon Sancho.

Federico Chiesa has been put on the market with less than a year left in his contract, so Juventus are looking for a new winger who can potentially replace the Italy international.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the latest candidate monitored by the Serie A giants is Portugal international Conceiçao.

Gazzetta: Juventus look to Conceiçao as Sancho alternative

The 21-year-old scored his first international goal at the Euros against Czechia and is the son of former Serie A star Sergio, his ex-coach at Porto.

According to Gazzetta, Francisco Conceiçao is now on the Juventus agenda alongside Sancho, Mason Greenwood and Karim Adeyemi. Cristiano Giuntoli has asked Porto to keep him updated on the Portuguese talent who is under contract with the club until 2029.

Francisco’s father, Sergio, was a teammate of Lilian Thuram at Parma in 2000-01, and their sons would reunite in Turin if Conceiçao Jr. joined Khephren Thuram at the Allianz Stadium this summer.

According to Gazzetta, Juventus also inquired about Lille right-back Tiago Santos, previously linked with Milan.
