Rodrigo Mora deal: signing not unanimous at Al Ittihad | OneFootball

Four days have already passed without any significant progress in the Rodrigo Mora deal, who is coveted by the Arabs of Al Ittihad, but they have yet to reach the €70 million demanded by FC Porto, the amount corresponding to the release clause. Signals from France indicate that the signing of the 18-year-old midfielder is not unanimously agreed upon within Al Ittihad. The player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is trying to unlock the situation and will have the support of Domingos Soares Oliveira, the club’s CEO and former Benfica executive, but other members of the board are showing disagreement, delaying the outcome.

This generates doubts and mistrust, as it is not the first time this club has tested the patience of Porto’s SAD – the episode involving Galeno, about a year ago, is still fresh: Al Ittihad backed out of a transfer when everything seemed agreed. FC Porto does not intend to lose Rodrigo Mora, but the process becomes even more sensitive considering that the Portuguese transfer window closes next Monday, while the Arabs have until the 10th to register new signings.

In the worst-case scenario, if the €70 million does not arrive in time for the Dragons to fill the gap in the transfer market, they will be limited to signing free agents.
