Rodrigo Mora, FC Porto’s 18-year-old attacking midfielder/winger (under contract until 2030) who has made a remarkable professional debut, has been mentioned as a target for Paris Saint-Germain this summer. PSG Inside Actus now claims that PSG is facing a firm stance from the Portuguese club and stiff competition. But there is hope of progress this week.

“New discussions scheduled for this week
“Negotiations continue for Rodrigo Mora, a young talent who is highly sought-after on the market. While the agreement with the player has already been finalized, the situation remains more complex for his club, Porto, who are adamant that they will not budge.
Indeed, several major European clubs have now entered the fray, increasing the competition and further complicating the task for the club initially in pole position. Despite the mutual interest between Mora and the latter, Porto is sticking to its guns: only the lifting of the release clause will be accepted.
Further discussions are scheduled for this week, in the hope of breaking the deadlock in a situation that looks tense, but not yet closed. “
We remain cautious: there is never absolute certainty with a rumor, as the mercato is a very complex “game”. Agents and clubs may pass on certain messages in order to put pressure on or confuse the issue. But many media outlets agree that PSG are interested in Mora, without there being any particular breakthrough yet.
It’s logical that Porto don’t open the door easily. There was a recent extension, so it’s not a question of selling off this young talent. We’d have to pay the €70 million release clause. Paris may try to negotiate, perhaps an exchange. Except that it’s very likely that other European giants will be tempted, which would further strengthen Porto’s position.
Let’s hope for concrete, positive news soon, except that nothing is certain. PSG have good arguments, as do the other clubs. Not to mention the fact that Mora is not necessarily in a hurry to leave Porto, where he has just launched his career and discovered the Portuguese national team.
