Villas-Boas: Al Ittihad used to tease Porto, Conceição may change that | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas, president of FC Porto, criticized Al Ittihad's approach in the negotiations for Rodrigo Mora during the summer transfer window.

At the Portugal Football Summit, held this Friday at the City of Football, the official explained the events of the last days of the transfer window.

«We had a 50 million offer from Al Ittihad, a club that unfortunately has gotten used to trying to play games with FC Porto. They said they would propose 63 million, but the offer never appeared. FC Porto would never sell for less than 70 million, after a conversation with the player. It never appeared, and Al Ittihad disappeared,» he stated.

Besides Mora, FC Porto also had a failed negotiation with the same club for Wenderson Galeno. The Brazilian even traveled, but the club opted for Steven Bergwijn. The transfer of Sérgio Conceição to Al Ittihad did not go unnoticed by AVB.

«Considering a group of people who are there, it has now been well reinforced with a Porto supporter like Sérgio Conceição. Perhaps the relationship between Al Ittihad and FC Porto will become different. We were not very pleased with the approach; they have every right to leave the negotiation, but messing with a kid's head, with his agent, is borderline with the ethics and morals of transfers governed by UEFA,» he concluded.
