Iván Jaime sure he’ll be bought, not thinking of FC Porto: “1000% sure” | OneFootball

Although he is still recovering and his future at Montréal depends on the activation of a €5.5 million purchase clause, Spanish midfielder Iván Jaime is “1000%” convinced that he will remain with the Major League Soccer (MLS) club.

On loan from FC Porto, the player needs to speed up his recovery to convince the management of the Canadian club; for now, there is no set date for his return to the pitch after the tendon injury at the end of last season.

The uncertainty does not shake his confidence. “I express myself on the field, but as I’ve already said, I am 1000% sure that I will stay. I have great confidence in myself and I know they will buy me,” Iván Jaime told Réseau des Sports (RDS), adding: “I know I will stay as long as necessary, because everything will go very well. I am very optimistic and it will be an excellent year for everyone.”

After describing last year as the “worst of his career,” the midfielder sees 2026 as an opportunity to start over. “The year 2025 was a year of learning, progress, consolidation, and learning from mistakes,” he said, emphasizing the importance of a full preseason to start the season at 100%.

The move to the North American league came from the need for an “important change” in his life, and his first experience reinforced his conviction that he has the potential to succeed in MLS. “I really liked the league, I felt very comfortable during the games. I had many opportunities to score and provide assists, and I think it’s a league that’s really growing,” he noted, also mentioning the increasing interest from other European players: “Many European players, especially Spaniards, want to come here. I know this because I have friends who want to come, and my first impression was excellent.”

During a team training camp in Spain, Iván Jaime took the opportunity to strengthen relationships with the squad, showing them his hometown, Marbella, an experience he considered very positive.

Montréal has until May to decide whether to activate the €5.5 million purchase option and keep Iván Jaime; the loan ends in June.
