The Saudi Pro League clubs have signed 69 players in their history who cost 10 million euros or more. So far, only a 18-year-old talent was there: Gabriel Carvalho switched from Internacional to Al-Qadsiah this summer for EUR 15.6 million. With Rodrigo Mora, the most valuable plant of FC Porto, the second 18-year-old could follow-cost: 70 million to 75 million euros.
According to the Portuguese sports newspaper “A Bola“Master Al -ittihad Club deals with the offensive all-rounder, which in the last nine games of the 2024/25 season attracted attention with eight goal participations. During this time, he increased from 10 million to 40 euros and was rewarded with a contract dated to 2030, which contains an exit clause of EUR 70 million.
Mora would be a record transfer for FC Porto and Al-Ortihad
Transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri writes that the clubs negotiate a change and that Mora has already agreed. Instead of the 70 million euros, al-afterihad wanted to negotiate a deal for the exit clause, which includes 75 million euros that are due in installments. Despite its outstanding form in the final phase of the season, the own plant is not set by Porto coach Francesco Farioli. The 36 -year -old Italian was introduced by the dragons at the beginning of July and signed a contract dated until 2027.
As a result, Mora not only waves more money in Saudi Arabia, but also more playing time. In the offensive midfield, Houssem Aouar (27) Al-Ortihad is likely to leave at your own request and thus clear space for a foreign new addition. Mora would be the youngest top transfer of Saudi Pro League and the third party in the league ever.
For Al-Ortihad, the obligation of the Portuguese would mean a club-internal transfer record. The same applies to FC Porto, who has never received so much for a player in its history-a record sale is Otávio, who switched to al-NassR in 2023 for 60 million euros.
