Liverpool Scout JuventusFrancisco Conceicao as Salah Successor

The scouting signals a shift toward a faster, trickier right‑sided option instead of a like‑for‑like replacement.

Overview

  • Liverpool have made initial checks on 23-year-old Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao as they plan for life after Mohamed Salah’s confirmed summer exit, according to multiple reports.
  • Price signals differ by outlet, with Tuttosport reporting an asking price near €65m and The i Paper citing about £52m, and Juventus only made his move permanent in July 2025 for roughly €30.4m on a deal to 2030.
  • Conceicao has seven goal contributions in 34 games this season, and FotMob data cited in reports shows he completes more dribbles at a higher success rate than Salah this campaign.
  • Speaking while on Portugal duty in Mexico and the United States, Conceicao said he is happy at Juventus and focused on his national team and Serie A run-in, and no formal bid from Liverpool has been reported.
  • Liverpool’s brief targets pace, dribbling and unpredictability on the right, which points to a different attacking shape under Arne Slot and a step away from trying to directly replace Salah’s prolific output.
