Rodrigo Mora transfer: it’s £70 million or nothing | OneFootball

FC Porto rejected a significant bid from a Saudi fund, which has been hiring top players for its league, and turned down an offer that, under normal circumstances, would have deserved consideration. Receiving 50 M€ for an 18-year-old player developed by the club – a profit of that value – would seem like a good deal, but the Porto SAD has no intention of losing the fans' idol and sent the suitors to the value of the release clause: 70 M€.

The interest of Al Ittihad is hindered by the financial ceiling that the aforementioned fund is willing to make available for this transfer, so everything should remain unchanged and Mora will continue, unless a last-minute offer from this or other sources, to demonstrate quality here.

With Farioli, the path to the starting eleven is not yet completely open, but it will only be a matter of time. Rodrigo Mora has that singular talent of the great creators and the Italian coach will be trying to fit his young star into the principles he deems necessary to lead the team to success.

It's natural for athletes, regardless of age, to hesitate in the face of millionaire proposals that come once in a lifetime, but even with high sums in the player's and FC Porto's account, that wouldn't be, above all, the best career option for someone who still has a lot to show at Dragão and in Europe. "Clause or nothing", a principle that protects the club and the player and leaves the Portistas satisfied.
