Villas-Boas blasts Mora lawyer: “FC Porto disrespect” | OneFootball

The editorial by André Villas-Boas in the August issue of Dragões magazine, published this Tuesday, is marked by strong criticism of lawyer Luís Miguel Henrique.

André Villas-Boas challenges Luís Miguel Henrique’s involvement in the transfer of Rodrigo Mora to Roma. The FC Porto president accuses the lawyer of seeking the spotlight in a deal in which, in his view, he had no influence whatsoever. Villas-Boas also believes the statements crossed professional boundaries, stressing that the player’s parents distanced themselves from his words and that the agent ultimately apologized to the club.

“To complete the picture, in the middle of the negotiations over Rodrigo Mora’s transfer to AS Roma, an opportunist looking for a stage stepped onto the field: a commentator, a figure completely peripheral and irrelevant to the entire process, but thirsty for attention. His services as a lawyer had zero influence on the outcome of the negotiations between the clubs, but his unfortunate opinions forced the player’s parents to distance themselves from his words and the player’s agent to apologize to the Institution. The immorality of his position and the disclosure of the details of the deal are at odds with the duty of confidentiality and professional discretion by which lawyers are bound. His disrespect toward FC Porto and, above all, toward FC Porto’s coach, will never be forgotten.”
