Al Ittihad Makes Move for Porto Star Rodrigo Mora

Al Ittihad has approached FC Porto to discuss a transfer for Rodrigo Mora, a talented Portuguese forward. The Saudi club wants to talk about signing the 18-year-old. Negotiations have started between both clubs and Mora’s agent.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Reports say Al Ittihad has contacted Porto to sign Rodrigo Mora, a top young talent in Portugal. Mora has a €70 million release clause in his contract until 2030. Porto gave him a long-term deal earlier this year, wanting to keep him as a key player. However, they are open to negotiations if big offers come in. Mora’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is also part of the talks.

This move follows a season where Mora scored six goals and had three assists in 25 matches for Porto. He quickly became a fan favorite and one of the league’s brightest prospects.

RODRIGO MORA’S RISE AND PORTO’S SEASON

Mora is seen as a future Portugal international. He was called up for the national team squad for the Nations League Final Four, but he has not played yet. Despite his age, he ended last season as one of Porto’s best players. In the current season, Porto is at the top of the Primeira Liga, after winning their league 2 first matches of the season.

Coach Francesco Farioli thinks Mora is important for Porto’s attack. However, rumors suggest tactical changes have affected his playing time. Notably, Rodrigo Mora is not an immediate transfer target for PSG, although top European clubs like Barcelona are still interested in him.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR AL ITTIHAD AND PORTO?

The next few days are important as negotiations continue. Al Ittihad wants to strengthen their squad for the Saudi Pro League’s season, where they finished as winners last season. Meanwhile, Porto is preparing for an important league match against Casa Pia, aiming to make it three for three in their league matches.

It is uncertain if Porto will resist Al Ittihad’s offer or let Mora go. This depends on how talks progress and if the release clause is met. Everyone is watching for Mora’s decision as the transfer drama unfolds.
