Francisco Conceição's stay at Ajax turned into a disappointment last season. The young forward returned to FC Porto this summer. There are doubts in the Portuguese port city about the transfer. Unnecessary, according to father and coach Sérgio Conceição.
Conceição made the move to Ajax for five million euros last year but struggled to make an impact in Amsterdam. This summer, the talented player went the other way. At Porto, it seems not everyone is enthusiastic about his return. 'But he came for free, and it was impossible to acquire a player with his abilities for free,' defended Conceição senior in the Portuguese media.
"Many people don't understand it. I don't understand it because Francisco can be very valuable to us. His style of play, disrupting the opponent, his uniqueness. And Veron (Conceição's competitor, editor's note) has a history of injuries. He came for free and came through the youth academy. If the club pays the clause, it's a good sign. He is going to be important for us.'
Conceição will have to wait for his definitive return to Porto as he is currently dealing with a muscle injury. It is not yet clear when he will be back.
