Mora’s release clause: €70m or €105m? Here’s the explanation | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Wednesday, news emerged that Rodrigo Mora's release clause would be €105 million, and not the €70 million agreed upon when the attacking midfielder renewed his contract with FC Porto.

With negotiations between the Dragons and Al Ittihad for the player's sale stalled, this information raised doubts and A BOLA sought to clarify the situation. The €70 million stipulated in Mora's clause would have to be deposited by a deadline, after which there would no longer be a right to rescind.

However, since FC Porto and the Saudis are parties in talks about the transfer, the blue and white management intends to maintain the previously agreed amount (€70 M), as they understand that this is not a scenario where the player himself can make the deposit of the clause. Moreover, it is practically unfeasible for a footballer to have that amount or pay compensation, as they would need to have the value in their account, plus taxes, if another club secured the funds.

In the unlikely event of a unilateral termination by the player, he would be obliged to bear the €70 M plus a 50% penalty (an additional €35 M), totaling €105 M (plus taxes), in addition to applicable sporting sanctions.

Thus, the €70 million is considered the maximum reference value in the negotiations that the Dragons want to preserve, without conceding a cent. This is why previous offers from Al Ittihad for Rodrigo Mora were rejected, and he continues to train normally at Olival.
