Juventus had examined Mason Greenwood in the past and could rekindle their interest, should they cash in on Francisco Conceiçao, who has suitors in the Premier League. The Bianconeri continue to live dangerously. They dropped two costly points against Hellas Verona, failing to gain ground on Como and to rope Milan into the top-four race. Qualifying for the UEFA Champions League is pivotal to determining their budget. They’ll have to make some sacrifices if they miss out.
Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United and Liverpool are keeping tabs on the Portuguese speedster. While he has performed adequately, the Old Lady paid a big buck to get him, around €40M, to sign him permanently from Porto. He has recorded 4 goals and 4 assists in 39 appearances. A really major offer could be evaluated, especially if they found a good replacement.
Greenwood would fit the bill, should Conceiçao depart Juventus. He wouldn’t be a lock to stay if Olympique Marseille failed to qualify for the top continental competition, which is rather likely.
He was purchased for about €30M, plus a 50 percent resale clause. He has put up 47 goals and 16 assists in 77 matches. The forward could be ready to return to a top side after his legal troubles drove him away from Manchester United. Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are eyeing him. His price tag is around €50M.
Our Take on Juventus, Conceiçao, and Greenwood
The former is talented but a bit frustrating. He should contribute to many more goals given his skill set and frenetic activity on the wing. It’s hard to imagine he’ll draw an offer so big that it’ll actually be worth considering. The Englishman is likely too expensive already.
