Portuguese news outlet Record reports that Francisco Conceição, who shone in the European Championship, has a low release clause, but it is about to expire.
Francisco Conceição is the fourth son of Portuguese legend, former Parma, Lazio and Inter star Sergio Conceição (previously translated as Consiçiao). He is Portugal’s biggest surprise in the 2024 national team. This 21-year-old star, who made his national team debut in March, made a hat-trick of assists in his second national team game (4-2 win over Finland), making him a standout.
At the European Championship, Conceição Jr. played a total of 181 minutes, scoring against Czech Republic, and his performance in other aspects, such as dribbling (7 successful), creating shot opportunities (6), and creating golden opportunities (3), were also remarkable. With such performance, Conceição has attracted the attention of Bayern, Chelsea, Dortmund, Leipzig, and other teams.
Conceição’s contract with Porto expires in 2029, but his contract stipulates a €30 million release clause, which is clearly too low for a player of this international caliber. However, it is not easy for other teams to activate this clause, as it expires on July 15th. After that day, his release clause will increase to €45 million. Portuguese media believe that other teams will try to activate the clause on the first working day of next week. Porto’s new manager hopes to keep Conceição, but the key is still the player’s attitude.
Conceição started training at Porto at the age of 16 and moved to Ajax in 2022. In the 2023-24 season, Porto brought him back to the club with a loan-to-buy agreement. In April, Porto bought his ownership with €10 million plus 20% of his next transfer fee. In the past season, Conceição, who plays as a right winger and occasionally as a left winger, scored 8 goals and assisted 8 times in 44 matches in the Portuguese League, Champions League and cup competitions, helping the team win the Portuguese Cup.
