Roma optimism grows over move for Porto talent Rodrigo Mora | OneFootball

Roma are increasingly optimistic about reaching an agreement with Porto for highly-rated youngster Rodrigo Mora after stepping up their efforts to sign the Portuguese talent.

According to Corriere dello Sport, negotiations have accelerated again after briefly reaching a stalemate over the Ferragosto holiday. Roma have now improved their proposal to Porto, prompting renewed confidence that the transfer can be completed.

Sporting director D’Amico is reportedly working to find an agreement with the Portuguese club, with the latest contacts described as particularly encouraging. The negotiations have entered their final stages, although Porto have yet to give their definitive approval to all aspects of the proposed deal.

Roma pushing to complete Mora deal

The Giallorossi are continuing discussions as they attempt to resolve the remaining details and secure the attacking talent.

Mora is regarded as one of the most promising young players in Portuguese football, making his potential arrival an important investment for Roma’s future.

While there is still work to be done before the clubs can officially shake hands, the improved offer and renewed negotiations have significantly increased optimism within the Giallorossi camp.

The next round of talks could therefore prove decisive, with D’Amico looking to overcome the remaining obstacles and bring Mora to the Italian capital.
