Porto won't accept Mora deal hinging on Roma winning the title | 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 desired amount. For that reason, it rejected the various deal structures proposed by Roma. For the dragons, the minimum value of the overall package for Rodrigo Mora’s departure is €50 million, and the club’s position is well defined.

If the deal moves forward as a loan, as is currently being considered, it will have to include clauses that make the obligation to buy practically automatic. Without that guarantee, the agreement will not be completed. The blue-and-white SAD therefore turned down the Italian proposal, which included €7/8 million for a one-season loan, plus €42/43 million for a permanent transfer, dependent on meeting certain objectives. An alternative in which the mandatory purchase would be conditional on Roma winning the league was also not accepted.

For the board led by André Villas-Boas, the criteria for triggering the obligation to buy must be clear and objective, and cannot depend on Mora’s usage or on Roma’s sporting results over the course of the season.

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

The decision is now in Roma’s hands, and they must assess whether to accept the conditions presented by FC Porto. Negotiations between the two clubs continue this Wednesday.
