Roma and FC Porto have resumed negotiations over Rodrigo Mora. The two clubs met again today in an attempt to find a solution that would allow the deal to go through, while always respecting the financial demands of the Dragons, who will only let the player, number 86, leave for a total fee of €50 million.

Talks had been suspended last week after a one-season loan was discussed, with a €10 million fee and a purchase option set at €40 million. The deal ultimately did not move forward because of the individual and collective targets required to trigger that option. FC Porto wanted the conditions to be easy to meet, but Roma did not accept them.

According to Fabrizio Romano, a transfer market specialist, the Italian club has improved its offer and believes it can secure the signing of the Portuguese attacking midfielder. Negotiations are said to be at an advanced stage following direct contacts held this Sunday.

The renewed contact between Roma and FC Porto comes on the same day that AC Milan were linked with Rodrigo Mora. According to the Italian press, the Rossoneri management asked about the player during talks over Santiago Giménez, the striker who is said to have already agreed personal terms with the Dragons.

Roma’s persistence is also linked to Gian Piero Gasperini’s wishes. The coach likes Rodrigo Mora’s attributes and is said to have asked the Giallorossi sporting directors to move forward with the signing of the Portuguese attacking midfielder.
