Jorge Mendes offers 17-year-old ‘next Cristiano Ronaldo’ to Real Madrid – report | OneFootball

Jorge Mendes, one of the most influential football agents in the world, has offered young Portuguese talent Rodrigo Mora to Real Madrid, according to Real Madrid Confidencial.

The outlet mentions that Mora is a versatile attacking midfielder who can also play as a winger on either flank, and his performances have already caught the eye of top clubs, including Real Madrid.

His dribbling ability, speed, and knack for breaking through defences have led to comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo, which speaks volumes about his potential.

Mendes’ offer to Real Madrid

Mendes, aware of Real Madrid’s continuous search for young, talented players, has put Mora’s name forward to club president Florentino Perez.

Real Madrid have recently prided themselves on identifying future stars, and Mora certainly fits that vision.

The player is under contract with Porto until 2027, with his value estimated at around €10 million, making him an attractive prospect for clubs looking to secure young talent at a relatively affordable price.

Mora’s rise isn’t just confined to club football. He is a regular in the youth teams of the Portuguese national side, particularly the under-21s. Furthermore, despite being just 17 years of age, he has played 17 matches for Porto’s senior team this season, scoring three goals.

What will Real Madrid do?

The real question now is whether Perez will decide to move forward with this opportunity and bring Mora to Madrid. Mendes’ strong relationship with the club could make any negotiations smoother, giving Real Madrid an edge in securing Mora’s signature.

If Perez gives the go-ahead, the young Portuguese midfielder could soon be wearing the famous white shirt, joining a long line of successful Portuguese players at the club.

While Mora’s future remains uncertain, interest from a prestigious club like Real Madrid almost guarantees that his rise in European football is set to continue. We will have to wait and see if Real Madrid decide to act quickly and secure the young star for their future squad.
