Rodrigo Mora, FC Porto’s 18-year-old attacking midfielder/winger (under contract until 2027) who has made a remarkable professional debut, has been rumored to be in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain for the mercato. PSG Inside Actus now claims that PSG have taken action and that a better offer is forthcoming after an initial failure.
Another PSG player on loan?
“According to sources close to the matter, PSG have entered into preliminary negotiations with FC Porto and the player’s entourage, represented by Jorge Mendes. The Lusitanian club recently extended Mora’s contract until 2030, with a release clause set at 70 million euros.
An initial offer of around €45 million was made, but was deemed insufficient by the Portuguese club. Paris is reportedly considering a new offer of around 60 million euros, plus bonuses, and could include a player on loan.
The player is very interested in PSG. The Parisian and Portuguese managements have already met to draw up the first outlines of a transfer between the two clubs. “
We remain cautious, as it’s still just a rumour and therefore nothing concrete. Which leaves uncertainty, as it always does at the mercato. Mora is a possibility for PSG, who have a great talent to develop within their project. The Portuguese may also be tempted by this new step.
As for Porto, they are undoubtedly keen to keep their young prodigy. But they also need to know how to recover a very handsome sum. Portuguese clubs are no strangers to attracting the biggest names in European soccer.
This could be the case here, but we’ll have to wait and see. Other clubs may have their say, and PSG undoubtedly has other leads for its squad. The deal is far from done”, even if it is possible.
