Conceicao's future at Juventus in doubt amid tactical changes

Igor Tudor was appointed last month, tasked with securing fourth place - the last qualifying spot for the Champions League - after Thiago Motta failed to impress the 'Old Lady'. But the Croatian's arrival could lead to the end of Francisco Conceicao's stay at Juventus.

Conceicao was brought to Turin on loan from Porto, with a 30 million euros fee agreed between the two clubs to make the transfer permanent at the end of the term. Despite becoming a fan favourite in Italy, transfer expert Matteo Moretto reports that the 22-year-old could be headed back to Portugal.

It is understood that with the change in system under new manager Tudor, Conceicao is no longer central to Juve's tactical plans. As a result, the 'Bianconeri' are assessing whether to extend the Portuguese winger's stay with the club beyond this season.

According to the same source, the final verdict will be taken at the end of the campaign, as qualification for the Champions League could still influence the decision. Should Juventus fail to secure European football, Conceicao will likely return wearing the Porto outfit in the upcoming season.
