Paris Saint-Germain’s Barcola has also emerged as a priority target, but the French club’s £140m price tag is putting the Merseysiders off.That has forced Liverpool to look elsewhere. According to reports in Italy, Juventus’ Conceicao is seen as a cheaper option and they have already got in touch with his representatives regarding a deal.As it stands, Juventus are not keen on selling, having only spent £27.3m to sign him permanently last summer following an initial loan move from Porto.

His name was also mentioned during last season but the Portuguese international remained tight-lipped on his future.He said: “I know people talk about a big club, but I play for a big club where I am happy. At the moment I am only focused on these two games with the national team and then I will focus on the final stretch of the season to help my club as much as possible.”“I am at a big club where the pressure to win is very high.

I must continue every day to show that I have the ability to help the national team and be helped by them to keep improving.”Conceicao, 23, has made 82 appearances for Juventus in all and has scored 11 goals in all competitions. His contract with the Italian giants is set to run until the summer of 2030.Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
