Talks stall, Iván Jaime set to return to FC Porto after loan | OneFootball

FC Porto stood firm in their demands and, as a result, talks over Iván Jaime’s permanent transfer to Montréal ended up being suspended. According to the newspaper A Bola, the parties failed to reach an agreement.

The loan included a purchase option set at €5.5 million and, although the Canadian club intended to keep the player on a permanent basis, Montréal’s aim was to reduce that amount. The Canadians lowered their offer to less than €2.5 million, which led FC Porto to end the negotiations.

It should be noted that if Iván Jaime plays 45 minutes in the final game of the season, the deal will have to go through, since the clause will become mandatory. Even so, that scenario is highly unlikely.

Iván Jaime is 25 years old and is currently serving his second consecutive loan spell from FC Porto, after having spent time at Valencia. In 2026, already in the new MLS season, the midfielder made 13 appearances for the Canadian side, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
