uventus embarked on an ambitious transfer window following the appointment of Thiago Motta to spearhead a squad rebuild.
Out of the seven new signings, some had to be secured through loan-to-buy deals due to financial considerations. Even with the significant number of players sold, the incoming transfers were generally more expensive.
One such player was Francisco Conceição, who joined on a loan-to-buy deal that wasn’t initially guaranteed.
However, it now appears that Juventus is set to make his transfer permanent, a decision announced before their Champions League match against Manchester City.

Before the game, Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli spoke to the media regarding Conceição’s future.
Giuntoli was clear, stating, “Francisco Conceição will be a Juventus player on a permanent deal. Conceição wants to stay at Juventus. He will stay here at 100%.”
This statement came after Conceição’s impressive performances this season, particularly highlighted by his contributions as a playmaker on the right, including an assist and the match-winning goal against RB Leipzig.
On another front, Juventus defender Danilo also addressed his future with the club. There had been speculation about his potential departure as early as January, but his recent form has put those rumors to rest.
When asked about his future, Danilo expressed his desire to remain with the club, saying, “I want to stay at Juventus. I have a contract until June…” suggesting that his fate might not entirely be in his control.
This comment could imply that Juventus hasn’t yet offered him a new contract. If this is the case, Danilo might leave on a free transfer at the end of his current deal.
Given his age, a move might mean a step down in competition level, possibly to leagues like Saudi Arabia’s or the MLS, or even a return to his native Brazil.
