Rodrigo Mora could be on his way to Galatasaray on loan

FC Porto and Galatasaray are reportedly very close to reaching an agreement over the loan of Rodrigo Mora. The information was reported by Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, according to whom the deal will include a mandatory purchase clause, to be triggered if the player reaches a certain number of appearances.

Despite the advanced talks, the young Portuguese player appears only as the second option on the Turkish club’s list. Galatasaray’s priority remains Aleksey Batrakov of Lokomotiv Moscow, for whom they are said to have submitted a €30 million offer.

If the Russian club rejects the bid, Galatasaray are then expected to move for Rodrigo Mora. Interestingly, Batrakov is also said to be on FC Porto’s radar, with the club viewing him as a possible successor to the Portuguese player.

It should be remembered that Francesco Farioli addressed the possibility of the young player’s departure on Saturday morning. Last season, the 18-year-old playmaker featured in 44 matches for the Dragons, scoring five goals and providing two assists.
