Chelsea ‘very attentive’ to Portuguese talent – Can get him signed for €30m this week

As the Portuguese media wonders whether Francisco Conceição will stay at Porto for another season, Chelsea are named as one of the potential destinations for the youngster.

Newspaper Record today shares a story about the player’s price. They point out that he currently has a €30m release clause, and that will go up to €45m from Monday.

That’s why there are some clubs who could advance for his signing ‘this week’, with Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and RB Leipzig all ‘very attentive’ to him. Bayern Munich had also been in the race, but with the signing of Michael Olise, they’re set to step out.

Agent Jorge Mendes is the one said to have the process in his hands, as the player is still to rejoin Porto’s squad for the pre-season and will then have a conversation with the club president to talk about his intentions.

Conceição had eight goals and eight assists in 43 appearances for the Dragons last season, and Portugal’s late winner against the Czech Republic in the Euros’ first round. Now we wait and see if Chelsea and offers will really try his signing this week.
