André Villas-Boas firm: Roma must meet FC Porto terms for Mora | OneFootball

FC Porto’s SAD, under the leadership of André Villas-Boas, is not willing to transfer one of its main assets for less than the amount it is seeking. In that regard, it has rejected several negotiation proposals put forward by Roma. For Rodrigo Mora’s departure, the minimum overall package is set at €50 million, and the Dragons’ position is unequivocal.

If the deal involves a loan, as is currently being considered, it must necessarily include clauses that make a permanent transfer practically inevitable. Without those guarantees, the operation will not move forward. The blue-and-white SAD therefore rejected the Italian proposal, which included €7/8 million for a one-season loan, plus €42/43 million for the permanent signing, subject to the fulfilment of certain objectives. A solution in which the purchase would only become mandatory if Roma won the league was also rejected.

From the perspective of the company led by André Villas-Boas, the criteria for triggering the obligation to buy must be concrete and objective, and cannot depend on the number of times Mora is used or on Roma’s sporting results during the current season.

FC Porto’s president remains firm in defending the club’s interests and presented a counterproposal along those lines: a €10 million loan, accompanied by a purchase option set at €40 million, in addition to bonuses and a possible percentage of a future sale. That option could become an obligation if targets considered achievable are met.

It is now up to Roma to decide whether to accept the conditions presented by FC Porto. Negotiations between the two clubs continue this Wednesday.
