La Liga
Al-Ittihad remains determined to become one of the most powerful clubs in world football through big spending. The Saudi Arabian team, which has already made significant signings in recent years, has set its sights on one of the emerging gems of European football: Rodrigo Mora, a forward from Porto.
According to sources close to the negotiation, the Saudi club has presented an offer of 75 million euros for the Portuguese footballer, with the intention of making him their new offensive reference.
The young attacker has attracted a lot of interest from several European clubs, but Al-Ittihad wants to outpace them all with a proposal that is impossible to match for most. Mora, at just 19 years old, has established himself as one of the great promises of Portuguese football, combining power, speed, and a goal-scoring ability that make him a player with enormous potential.
However, Porto does not seem willing to part so easily with their emerging star. The Portuguese club is aware that Mora's value could continue to rise in the coming seasons and is reluctant to accept an immediate sale unless the figure far exceeds what they consider fair.
An Offer of 60 Million Euros Made to Barcelona for Ferran Torres
This is where the alternative of Al-Ittihad emerges: Ferran Torres. The forward from FC Barcelona has become one of the most in-form players in the squad led by Hansi Flick, and his name is on the list of possible signings for the Saudi team. Al-Ittihad would be willing to present an offer of around 60 million euros for the Spanish international, which would be a very attractive income for the Catalan club.
Barcelona is going through a delicate financial situation. Problems with the salary cap have prevented the registration of some players at the start of this season, and receiving a million-euro offer for Ferran Torres could offer some financial relief. Flick, however, has expressed on more than one occasion his desire to keep the player, considering him crucial in his offensive scheme. Ferran has shown himself as a versatile attacker, capable of playing in various positions and with a goal-scoring ability that has silenced many of the past criticisms.
The player himself does not contemplate leaving. The Spanish forward is happy at Camp Nou, feels supported by his coach, and is aware that he is experiencing one of the best moments of his career. Moreover, even though the Saudi league offers much higher salaries than European ones, Ferran Torres does not seem willing to exchange the competitive elite of the Champions League for Gulf football.
From the player's surroundings, it is claimed that his intention is to continue growing at Barça and compete for important titles, despite the fact that Al-Ittihad's offer would significantly increase his current salary.
Meanwhile, the Saudi club is not losing hope. Their strategy is clear: to reinforce their squad with young stars who can make a difference for several seasons. If they fail to convince Porto with Rodrigo Mora, they will go all out for Ferran Torres, a player who would bring a significant media and sporting boost to the league.
Al-Ittihad is ready to shake up the market with two operations amounting to around 135 million euros in total. The future will tell whether Rodrigo Mora heads to Saudi Arabia or if Ferran Torres ultimately becomes the big surprise of the next transfer window. What seems undeniable is that Saudi financial power continues to set trends and threatens to weaken European clubs like Barcelona that need income to balance their books.
