Bruno Costa Carvalho urges Mora: Benfica should pay €70m clause | OneFootball

Bruno Costa Carvalho used social media this Sunday to challenge Rui Costa, proposing that Benfica move forward with the signing of Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto – an operation that, in his view, could have a comparable impact to the transfer of Luís Figo from Barcelona to Real Madrid.

“Rodrigo Mora is the present and the future. At Dragão, it's already been realized: even with Pepê's injury, the kid wasn't a starter. Porto doesn't know what it has in its hands. Benfica can't just stand by and watch“, wrote the former candidate for the presidency of the eagles on his Facebook account.

Bruno Costa Carvalho considers that the proposal is not excessive and pointed out the strategy that, according to him, would allow Rui Costa to secure the 18-year-old for the great rival.

“The solution is in sight: reach an agreement with the player and pay the clause of 70 million. Yes, 70 million, like Real Madrid did with Barcelona when they took Luís Figo. A move that changed history. There are ways to do it: agreement with a bank and pay in three years or sell a defender for 50 million“, the post states.

The former candidate also appealed for a demonstration of ambition from Rui Costa, defending that Benfica must fully commit to this operation.

“What cannot happen is letting Rodrigo Mora slip away to Saudi Arabia at this age. That would be a brutal waste of talent. Rui Costa… it's now. It's now that the big moves are made. It's now that Benfica's weight is shown”, he concluded.
