Key Takeaways:
- Roma have presented Porto with three alternative payment structures for 19-year-old winger Rodrigo Mora, according to reports on Monday
- Porto are seeking a fee in the region of €45m to part ways with the teenage prospect this summer
- Roma are currently leading the race for Mora, ahead of Galatasaray, as negotiations between the clubs continue
Negotiation Details: Proposals on the Table
AS Roma remain engaged in protracted discussions with FC Porto over a prospective deal for highly rated 19-year-old winger Rodrigo Mora. The Giallorossi have now formulated three distinct financial offers in an effort to meet Porto’s valuation and secure the youngster’s signature.
After missing out on previous attacking targets including Antonio Nusa, Crysencio Summerville, and Mason Greenwood, Roma appear to have identified Mora as their primary candidate to strengthen their attacking options – a position manager Gian Piero Gasperini has repeatedly sought to reinforce with a right-footed player during the current transfer window.

Porto’s Asking Price and Roma’s Payment Options
Porto are reported to be holding firm to a price tag in the region of €45m for Mora. However, the outright payment of this sum is viewed as improbable for Roma this summer. Instead, the Italian club have proposed the following alternatives:
| Option | Details |
|---|---|
| 1: Loan with Buy Clause | Initial loan costing approximately €5m, with a future option or obligation to buy set at around €40m |
| 2: Outright Purchase in Instalments | Purchase Mora outright, paying €20m up front and a subsequent €25m in one year’s time |
| 3: Outright Purchase with Sell-on Clause | Buy Mora for €25m-€30m and grant Porto a 50% sell-on clause on any future transfer |
Competitive Landscape: Roma Favoured Over Rivals
Porto are encouraged by Roma’s proactive approach and flexible structuring of their offers. The Serie A side are regarded as the front-runners to agree terms with their Portoguese colleagues for Mora, currently outpacing Galatasaray, who have also expressed interest in the Portuguese 19-year-old.
