The Portuguese newspaper Abola revealed that the ongoing negotiations between FC Porto and Saudi club Al-Ittihad regarding the transfer of star Rodrigo Mora have not reached a deadlock, but they still face several complex financial obstacles.

The newspaper clarified that Porto's president, André Villas, insists on receiving the full amount of the buyout clause included in the player's contract, which is 70 million euros, affirming that he will not concede on this figure under any circumstances.

Sources confirmed that Porto's management requires the amount to be paid in full at once, without installments or scheduling, which complicates negotiations with Al-Ittihad, unless a special clause is included that grants the Portuguese club a percentage of any future sale of Mora.

In the same context, the Portuguese newspaper O Jogo reported that Porto officially rejected the offer made by Al-Ittihad, which amounted to 50 million euros, considering it far below the required amount.

Thus, the deal for Rodrigo Mora remains complicated in light of Porto's insistence on the full buyout clause, while Al-Ittihad is trying to find a compromise to finalize the contract with the Portuguese player during the current summer transfer window.
