D-day for Rodrigo Mora's future | OneFootball

Today is a crucial day for the resolution of Rodrigo Mora's situation, as André Villas-Boas has refused to authorize the departure of the 18-year-old midfielder tomorrow, the closing date of the market. If the transfer were to occur at that time, the coach would not have room to compensate for the absence of the player trained at Olival. Therefore, it is expected that Al Ittihad will present an offer that meets FC Porto's requirements - namely the payment of the 70 M€ corresponding to the termination clause - after two proposals have been rejected.

The decision is therefore in the hands of the Arab clubs, who will have to act swiftly. If they do not move firmly today to secure the signing of the Portuguese under-18 international, FC Porto will not agree to release the athlete at the close of the market, nor subsequently, after the window closes. From that moment, FC Porto will be protected by the 50 percent penalty applied to the termination clause, which would further complicate any transfer.

In order to negotiate the departure, it is imperative that this happens this Sunday; otherwise, André Villas-Boas will block any business possibility involving Rodrigo Mora. Yesterday, the young midfielder was a starter in Alvalade and celebrated the victory.
