Al Ittihad offer €70m, Rodrigo Mora set for FC Porto exit | OneFootball

Al Ittihad has reopened negotiations for Rodrigo Mora and is closer to closing a deal with FC Porto, reports journalist Sacha Tavolieri this Saturday. The Saudi club has renewed its efforts and is now willing to pay the 70 million euros release clause demanded by president André Villas-Boas. After initially stepping back when the FC Porto leader presented the demand, Al Ittihad has now aligned with the requested amounts and hopes to conclude the deal within the next 48 hours – a deadline that coincides with the closing of the transfer market in Portugal. The young 18-year-old Portuguese forward had already accepted the Saudi club's contract offer last week and is ready to move to Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, Rodrigo Mora is expected to be on FC Porto's match sheet for this Saturday's away game against Sporting, in a match corresponding to the 4th round of the I Liga. The player, trained at Olival, lost his place in the starting eleven after the arrival of Francesco Farioli, but he is expected to be on the substitutes' bench and could be an option for the Italian coach during the match at Estádio José de Alvalade.
