Farioli wants Rodrigo Mora despite Roma and Galatasaray interest | OneFootball

If the market really does have the power to influence players, Rodrigo Mora is currently the FC Porto player most exposed, given the attention he has been receiving due to Roma and Galatasaray’s interest in signing him. Even so, the youngster is part of Francesco Farioli’s squad for tonight’s match against Rio Ave in Vila do Conde. He will therefore have another chance to showcase himself in front of the interested clubs and, eventually, lead them to improve the offer made to the blue-and-white SAD, in a transfer that he himself views favorably, especially given the possibility of playing more regularly in Serie A.

“He is a very professional player, he is young, but he already has very strong experience and broad enough shoulders to handle this noise. He is, as you know, a big FC Porto supporter and, above all, an FC Porto player. In that regard, there is no doubt about how we will use him, if and when, and about the contribution he will give us until the moment he is no longer an FC Porto player,” Farioli explained ahead of today’s game.

In Italy, the coach’s home country, it was reported that Roma remain interested in Mora despite the deadlock in talks with FC Porto, caused by the demands of André Villas-Boas. The Porto president sees the player as one of the club’s main assets and does not intend to make his departure easy, defending the interests of the blue and whites. Mora is also one of five FC Porto players nominated among the candidates for the Golden Boy award, alongside Froholdt, William Gomes, Pietuszewski and Martim Fernandes.

As for the rest of FC Porto’s young players, and according to the information available, Farioli has also called up Duarte Cunha and Eduardo Ferreira for tonight’s match.

On the transfer market, the coach also addressed Eustáquio’s situation: “We are in a situation where, once again, many things can happen, but when I see my players wearing our shirt, they are all absolutely committed.”
