Conceicao seen as Liverpool alternative to Barcola with €50m Juventus demand

Liverpool have contacted Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao, claim reports in Italy, as a cheaper alternative to Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain.

The Premier League giants need to fill the gap left empty by the departure of free agent Mohamed Salah this summer.

Their primary target is Barcola, who has just refused to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but has a huge asking price of circa €170m.

According to Tuttosport and Calciomercato, another candidate for Liverpool could be Juventus winger Conceicao.

It is claimed that Liverpool already made contact with the 23-year-old Portugal international’s entourage to ask about his availability.

Considering Juve paid €9.5m to get him on loan from FC Porto last year, then another €32m to make the move permanent this summer, they are in no rush to sell.

If they were to listen to proposals from Liverpool, then it’d have to be a minimum of €50m, but that is still not even a third of what PSG want for Barcola.

Conceicao contributed six goals and five assists in 45 competitive games for Juventus last term.
