An understanding has been assured 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, according to the agreement, if the transfer is finalized for the 70 M€ of the termination clause, he will be entitled to a commission of 7 M€.
This is regardless of what he may earn in Saudi Arabia as a commission for the individual contract of the young talent, whose salary is expected to be around 10 M€ per year.
In light of rumors that FC Porto demanded the 70 M€ net, that is, without intermediation charges, there was a decrease in tension between the parties and a path to understanding was established. The dispute had also intensified because the SAD did not allow Jorge Mendes to charge any amount for the departures of João Mário and David Carmo, despite the mandates being, in audit, recognized as property of Gestifute.
However, this scenario does not apply in the case of Rodrigo Mora, so the commissions should not prevent the move to Al Ittihad. For the negotiations to advance, the Saudis will have to present a third proposal that reaches 70 million euros. At that time, and according to what our newspaper has found, Villas-Boas is available to negotiate the final details of this financial agreement.
In fact, Record knows that the second proposal from Al Ittihad, presented on Saturday, already allowed to make up the 70 M€ indirectly: the fixed value was 63 M€, plus a percentage on a future sale contractually assured. Even so, FC Porto remains firm and without admitting concessions.
The essential for the dragons is that Al Ittihad responds quickly, avoiding prolonging a process that has caused great wear and tear to the player and his family.
