Porto in negotiations with Roma for Rodrigo Mora
FC Porto is in negotiations with Roma for the transfer of Portuguese midfielder Rodrigo Mora, according to information from Italy. The Italian proposal includes 5 million euros of loan fee and 45 million euros of option to buy, trying to meet the demands of the dragons, which point to a transfer in the order of 50 million euros to free the 19-year-old player.
Why it matters for FC Porto
The departure of Rodrigo Mora may imply devaluation, as the player was not an option in the Supertaça, against Torreense. However, the prospect of scarce playing time may lead to a definitive or loan departure.
What comes next
Roma had been associated with Mora for days, but news from Turkey pointed to Galatasaray as being in the lead of the race. Roma is seeking reinforcements for the attacking sector, with a priority on a winger.
FC Porto in good form
FC Porto is in good form, with 66 goals scored and 18 conceded, and is leading the Primeira Liga with 6 points of advantage over Sporting CP. The last match was a 1-0 win against Santa Clara, and the next fixture is against Moreirense, which is in 7th place in the table.
