Jorge Mendes pulls out all the stops for Rodrigo Mora transfer | OneFootball

There is an understanding between André Villas-Boas and Jorge Mendes regarding the exclusive mandate to negotiate Rodrigo Mora. The super agent has been leading the talks with Al Ittihad and, as agreed, if the transfer is finalized for the 70 M€ release clause, he will be entitled to a commission of 7 M€.

This is regardless of what he will earn in Saudi Arabia as a commission for the young talent's individual contract, whose salary should be around 10 M€ per year.

Given the rumors that FC Porto demanded the 70 M€ net, i.e., without intermediation costs, a decrease in tension between the parties was verified and a way of understanding was established. The dispute had also intensified because the SAD did not allow Jorge Mendes to charge any value for the departures of João Mário and David Carmo, despite the mandates having been recognized as Gestifute's property in an audit.

However, this scenario does not apply in the case of Rodrigo Mora, so the commissions should not prevent the exit to Al Ittihad. For the negotiations to move forward, the Saudis will have to present a third proposal that reaches 70 million euros. At that point, and as our newspaper found out, Villas-Boas is available to negotiate the final details of that financial agreement.

In fact, Record knows that Al Ittihad's second proposal, presented on Saturday, already allowed the 70 M€ to be reached indirectly: the fixed value was 63 M€, plus a percentage on a future sale contractually secured. Still, FC Porto remains firm and does not admit concessions.

The essential thing for the dragons is that Al Ittihad speaks up quickly, avoiding prolonging a process that has caused great wear and tear on the player and his family.
