FC Porto agreed to let Juventus recruit Francisco Conceicao for a transfer fee of 32 million euros. This amount will be paid into 4 batches, each batch of 8 million euros. This figure is higher than the Conceicao contract breakage fee of 30 million euros.
The Portuguese club had to race with the time to complete the deal before midnight, the time when Conceicao's contract release clause will increase from 30 million euros to 45 million euros. However, this is not considered the fact that Juventus activates the terms of contract release. Because if doing so, they will have to pay all the money in a single time.
Instead, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Juventus has approved the offer worth 30 million euros to be paid in four times – longer than the 3 -phase plan as O Jogo was given earlier during the day. According to O JOGO and Sky Sport Italia, the final transfer fee that Juventus will pay is actually 32 million euros, divided evenly into 4 batches, each batch of 8 million euros.
This agreement also means that Francisco Conceicao must sign a written confirmation that he will not receive all 20% of the division from the transfer fee that he should have enjoyed if the deal takes place through the contract break. According to sources, Conceicao this morning agreed to give up half of the money, only received 3 million euros instead of 6 million euros.
Francisco Conceicao joined Juventus last summer on the form of loan lasting a season for 10 million euros, without the terms of purchase. Although there are clubs that are willing to spend more than Juventus, Conceicao just wants to continue his journey in Turin.
The fact that Juventus bought with Conceicao also made the deal to recruit Jadon Sancho from MU were at risk of breaking by both playing in the same position and quite similar style. Earlier, Juventus had almost reached the price agreement with MU but because Sancho did not lose his salary, the deal went to a dead end.
