Barcelona keeping close tabs on 18-year-old FC Porto sensation – report | OneFootball

According to Fichajes, 18-year-old Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto has emerged as a serious target for FC Barcelona.

The outlet mentions that the teenager has impressed many scouts across Europe, and Barcelona are no exception.

Deco, the club’s sporting director who has close ties with FC Porto, is keeping a close watch on him. His deep knowledge of the Portuguese market, having played and scouted there, gives Barcelona an advantage in the chase.

Rodrigo Mora has made a strong impact both in Porto’s youth ranks and during his early days with the senior team. Known for his speed, balance, and maturity on the ball, Mora is quickly rising through the ranks.

Despite his young age, he has already shown signs of becoming one of Europe’s top attacking talents. Many top European clubs have started monitoring him closely, including Real Madrid, but Barcelona are keen to act fast before his value goes even higher.

Deco believes that Mora would be a great fit for the current football project being shaped at Barcelona. The player’s qualities align well with the club’s style, which is quick transitions, smart passing, and technical sharpness.

He is seen as someone who could make an impact right away, while also offering long-term value to the squad.

At the moment, the move is far from easy. Porto do not want to lose one of their brightest young stars and are expected to demand a solid fee. But Barcelona are not backing down.

Deco’s personal interest in bringing Mora to Camp Nou might make a big difference. Until then, Mora is a name to remember, and if Barcelona play their cards right, he could soon be wearing the famous Blaugrana shirt.
