Milan Enters Race for Rodrigo Mora, Gimenez Key Factor?

There are also reports of AC Milan's interest in Rodrigo Mora. The Porto playmaker, a subject of intense transfer speculation with Roma in recent weeks, could emerge as a surprise target for the Rossoneri's attacking midfield. Santiago Gimenez, who is reportedly heading to Porto, might play a pivotal role in this development. Mora is valued at €50 million, a figure considered beyond Milan's reach. Roma has been exploring alternative solutions to bridge the gap with Porto's valuation, such as a fixed fee combined with a 50% sell-on clause. At present, Roma's chances of signing Mora seem to have diminished. Milan, who must first offload several players, remains observant, given that the attacking midfielder is a profile their coach, Amorim, is seeking.

Farioli Addresses Rodrigo Mora's Lawyer's Comments

Following the match between Porto and Rio Ave, Farioli responded to statements made by Rodrigo Mora's lawyer. He stated, "I've also read the comments. People enjoy creating narratives. This person has never spoken to me; they don't know if Rodrigo is the first, second, or third option. These kinds of statements don't help anyone. When someone close speaks out and takes certain positions, it doesn't reflect well on the person they are supposed to be looking out for. Rodrigo Mora has been at the center of discussions since last season, especially in the first half. There's a desire to create a narrative and a story. My role is to select the starting eleven and substitutions. When you have players like Gabri and Rodrigo in the same position, it's a privilege, and you have to make decisions. Rodrigo played almost 2000 minutes last season, and Gabri played a similar amount. What we've done for them, we've also done for others, and everyone has accepted it. In this club, and especially in this group, the collective is the priority, because I truly believe there is nothing greater than Porto."

Ongoing Standoff Between Roma and Porto Over Mora

Eleonora Trotta, via X, has outlined the differing stances of the two clubs. Porto is reportedly keen to sell the player permanently to avoid the risk of him returning to their squad at the end of next season. Roma, on the other hand, aims to structure the deal in a way that allows them to invest in the player while assessing his performance and adaptation throughout the season before committing to a permanent transfer.

Continuous Contacts for Mora

According to Matteo Moretto, further discussions regarding Rodrigo Mora took place yesterday. Roma feels a pressing need to reinforce their attacking options and continues to push for a resolution with Porto. The ownership, the Friedkin family, is playing a significant role in the negotiations, maintaining close contact with agent Jorge Mendes, who is working to facilitate an agreement among all parties involved. These dialogues are expected to continue, with further contact scheduled for tomorrow, aiming to bridge the gap between the clubs and unlock the deal. Mora remains a concrete target for Roma, who are eager to provide Gasperini with a new offensive reinforcement as soon as possible. The coming hours could prove decisive in determining whether significant progress is made in the negotiations with Porto.
