Rodrigo Mora, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder/winger from FC Porto (under contract until 2027) who has made a remarkable professional debut, has been mentioned in Paris Saint-Germain’s sights for the transfer window. For Mercadoazul, he is a bombshell, Porto have put their player on the transfer market.
“Le départ de Rodrigo Mora sur ce marché des transferts est sur la table.”
The Rodrigo Mora case is surprising. At just 18 years old, the player, who had extended his contract until 2030 with a €70 million release clause, seemed destined to become the future face of FC Porto. However, the arrival of Francesco Farioli has upset the balance: less used since the start of the season, Mora is paying the price for a tactical decision that relegates his explosive profile to the background.
This turnaround illustrates the harsh reality for young talent at major European clubs: emergence never guarantees continuity. For PSG, which has been monitoring the young stars of the Portuguese league for several months, putting Mora on the market could represent a rare opportunity, even if the compensation demanded by Porto is, for the time being, dampening the competition’s enthusiasm.
