Update on Iván Jaime: Montréal keen to keep the player | OneFootball

Luca Saputo, executive director of recruitment and sports methodology at Montréal, commented on the future of Iván Jaime with the Canadian team. The official stated that the club will carefully use the available period to decide on exercising the option to purchase 80% of the player's rights.

The Canadians can trigger the clause in January or in June, at the end of the loan. If they opt for the purchase in January, they will pay FC Porto 5 million euros; this amount rises to 5.5 million if the option is exercised in June. The acquisition will be automatic if the player participates in more than 60 percent of the matches during the loan period.

«Iván Jaime had a good adaptation, he really likes the city and the club. We understand that with his quality, he can help us, but we have the freedom to make the right decision, and that’s what we will do, in due time. He played in three different leagues in one year and arrived here at the end of the season,» indicated Luca Saputo, quoted by the newspaper La Presse.

Only in the calendar year of 2025, Iván Jaime represented FC Porto, Valencia (on loan from the Dragons), and Montréal, totaling 17 matches in that period. The midfielder will now have the opportunity to prepare for the next edition of Major League Soccer with a complete pre-season with the Canadian squad. Iván Jaime has a contract with FC Porto until 2028, and the release clause is set at 80 million euros.
