Richard Hughes has got a trump card to play in deal for £56m Francisco Conceicao Liverpool have got a problem to solve on the right wing. Last week brought bombshell news that Mohamed Salah would be leaving the club at the end of the season. But the Premier League champions won’t be getting a transfer fee for the 33-year-old.
Salah is leaving on a free transfer with the club agreeing to tear up a contract originally supposed to run until 2027. The Anfield club will be saying goodbye to a bonafide club legend and will have a vacancy for a starting right winger. There have been links with Bradley Barcola, Yan Diomande and Michael Olise - and in recent days Francisco Conceicao was added to the list.
The 23-year-old Juventus winger is under contract until 2030 and would cost somewhere in the region of £56m according to reports in Italy. Liverpool want deal for Francisco Conceicao A one-v-one specialist the Portugal international would give Arne Slot a quality he’s been missing with Cody Gakpo and Salah on the flanks. The left-footer could do with brushing up on his efficiency in front of goal but as a dribble monster he would no doubt put opponents on the back foot and create chances for teammates.
How viable is this deal? It remains to be seen. But Liverpool can certainly add a sweetener.
