Conceição extended stay boosts Juventus ahead of Club World Cup

Juventus are set to resume training on Monday, June 2, as preparations intensify for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, where they will face Al Ain in their opening match on June 19.

Manager Igor Tudor will oversee the return of several key players and assess the availability of others whose loan agreements are under negotiation.

Daniele Rugani and Filip Kostić are confirmed to rejoin the squad after completing their loan spells at Ajax and Fenerbahçe, respectively.

Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has affirmed their inclusion in the Club World Cup roster, highlighting their importance amid the team’s injury challenges.

Additionally, Francisco Conceição will continue with Juventus, as the club has secured a one-month extension of his loan from FC Porto, allowing him to participate in the tournament.

The futures of Randal Kolo Muani and Renato Veiga remain uncertain. Juventus are in discussions with Paris Saint-Germain to retain Kolo Muani beyond his current loan, with talks scheduled post-Champions League final.

Regarding Veiga, Juventus are keen to extend his stay following a successful loan from Chelsea. However, negotiations have stalled due to Chelsea’s valuation of €50 million for a permanent transfer.

Juventus are exploring the possibility of prolonging the loan, but no agreement has been reached.
