Rodrigo Mora staying at FC Porto after Portuguese transfer window closes | OneFootball

Dissatisfied with Al Ittihad's indecision regarding the payment of the 70 million euros required for the SAD to release the attacking midfielder, FC Porto has already decided on its stance after the close of the transfer window in Portugal: if the sale of the young creative player is not finalized by then, Mora will not be negotiated.

The parties agreed that Al Ittihad will only sign the Portuguese youth international upon payment of 70 million euros—the reference amount of the release clause set during the contract renewal—but this condition is valid only until 11:59 pm on September 1, the date when the national transfer window closes.

After this deadline, FC Porto will demand €105 million—the €70 million from the clause plus a 50% compensation (€35 million)—justified by the fact that the deadline for depositing the 'release fee' has been exceeded. The SAD does not intend to risk losing Mora when it would no longer be able to find a replacement of the same caliber.

On the other hand, this amount would have a deterrent effect on Al Ittihad, especially since the €70 million is already causing a level of discord in Saudi Arabia that has left negotiations with FC Porto at a standstill.
