Rodrigo Mora awaits FC Porto-Roma agreement | OneFootball

The approximately 15 minutes played against Alverca may have been Rodrigo Mora’s last for FC Porto, the club he has represented since the age of ten. Porto and Roma remain in talks after the SAD led by André Villas-Boas rejected an initial offer of 25 million euros, a figure far below the demands of the national champions, as O JOGO reported.

Throughout yesterday, several amounts were reported regarding alleged bids Roma was preparing. However, according to our newspaper, those figures do not match what is actually on the table. Among the possibilities mentioned was a loan worth seven or eight million euros, accompanied by a purchase option set at €42m, a scenario entirely unappealing to FC Porto. There was also talk of an offer of 25 million euros paid immediately and another 25 million next year, taking the deal to 50 million, but without the full amount entering the current financial year’s accounts, as the SAD intends. A third possibility pointed to 25 million euros for 50% of the player’s rights.

Jorge Mendes is leading the negotiations and FC Porto is open to selling, so common ground could be reached soon. If it goes through, the young playmaker will very likely become the most expensive signing in Roma’s history, with Patrick Schick currently holding that record following an investment of €42m. In Italy, it is also being reported that Rodrigo Mora has already reached an agreement with the Roman club for a five-year contract, valid until 2031, with only the agreement between the two teams still to be finalized.

Galatasaray is following the process closely and remains interested in the player, with the financial ability to meet the figures demanded by FC Porto. Under Farioli at the Dragão, Mora does not carry the same weight he had in the second half of 2024/25, when he established himself as the team’s main figure. Last season, he started 26 times, recording nine goals and three assists, and the arrival of Inbeom could further reduce the space available to him in the Italian coach’s system. Thus, although he has not asked to leave, the player is open to a move. The question now is whether the transfer will happen in the coming days or only closer to the end of the month. For now, everything indicates that Rodrigo Mora will be at Olival today for training.
