“A very good buy” “Yesssssssssss Get him” – Chelsea fans reacted to Olise alternative with €45m fee to be pay
Francisco Conceicao, a winger for Porto, has a release clause that Chelsea is considering raising, according to Record.
According to the Portuguese tabloid, several teams, including the Blues, are reportedly considering bids as the buyout fee will increase from €30 million (£25 million) to €45 million (£38 million) on Monday. On whether the forward would be a good addition to the team, X fans are divided:
Let’s get him

@jenalisd: another left footed right winger?????
@CFC_Ali10: Yesssssssssss

@iam_best999:Very good buy
@CFC_Sims1: No we don’t want randoms
Conceicao has a similar profile to Olise
The 21-year-old is a left-footed right winger in the same mould as Michael Olise. Chelsea are still in the market for an alternative after losing out to Bayern Munich for the Frenchman.
There are, though, still clear differences between the two players. Conceicao relies on his speed and low centre of gravity, and his end product is nowhere near as impressive as Olises’s.
Last season, the Portuguese international scored 8 goals and contributed 8 assists in 43 appearances for Porto.
Chelsea have looked at other wingers
In addition to Conceicao, the Blues have been linked with another left-footed forward, Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi, in recent days.
Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams is also on the club’s radar but he would be more suited to the left flank. Rennes’ Desire Doue is a younger option, who is said to be a player of interest to the recruitment department too.
