Talks stall and Iván Jaime will return to FC Porto after loan | OneFootball

FC Porto stood firm in its demands and, as a result, talks over Iván Jaime’s permanent transfer to Montréal ended up being suspended. According to the newspaper A Bola, the parties failed to reach an agreement.

The loan included a purchase option set at €5.5 million and, despite the Canadian club’s intention to sign the player on a permanent basis, Montréal’s aim was to lower that amount. The Canadians reduced their offer to less than €2.5 million, which led FC Porto to end the negotiations.

It should be noted that, if Iván Jaime plays 45 minutes in the final match of the season, the deal will have to go through, as the clause will become mandatory. Even so, that scenario is highly unlikely.

Iván Jaime is 25 years old and is on his second consecutive loan away from FC Porto, after having previously spent time at Valencia. In 2026, already in the new MLS season, the midfielder made 13 appearances for the Canadian side, recording two goals and one assist.
