Portuguese Francisco Fernandes Conceição signs five-year contract with Ajax

Ajax reportedly pays a transfer fee of five million euros for the 19-year-old talent. He is the fourth addition to the club this summer. Yesterday it became clear that the 22-year-old defender Calvin Bassey also comes to Amsterdam. Owen Wijndal and Steven Bergwijn are already established.

Despite his age, Conceição has already played fifty matches in the first team of FC Porto. In 2015 he started with the youth of Sporting CP and in 2018 he made the switch to Porto. Since 2021, he has played for the first team of the club that is now led by his father Sérgio Conceição.

It is not yet clear whether Conceição will join Ajax’s training camp in Saalfelden, Austria. Alfred Schreuder’s team will play a friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt there on Saturday.
