Real Madrid is determined to activate the release clause of Rodrigo Mora, the midfielder from FC Porto, set at 70 million euros.
The club intends to close this deal to secure the player's services, with the plan to loan him out for another season at the Portuguese club to continue his development and maintain competitive rhythm.
Real Madrid decides to sign Rodrigo Mora
Rodrigo Mora, 18 years old, has become a key player for FC Porto during the last season. His outstanding performances in the Primeira Liga have attracted interest from several top European clubs. However, Real Madrid has expedited the process to secure the addition of this young talent who fits perfectly into the club's sports project.
The player stands out for his midfield versatility, recovery ability, vision of the game, and a remarkable skill to distribute the ball precisely. These qualities make him a complete player, capable of adapting to different tactical systems and contributing both defensively and offensively. This is why the coaching staff led by Xabi Alonso sees Mora as a safe bet to strengthen the midfield and rejuvenate the squad.
FC Porto has set a release clause of 70 million euros for Rodrigo Mora, a fee that Real Madrid is willing to pay to ward off competition from other interested clubs. Nevertheless, the agreement includes that Rodrigo Mora will remain on loan at FC Porto for another season, allowing him to keep growing in a familiar environment where he has already shown high performance.

This type of arrangement is not new for Real Madrid. The club has used this formula in recent signings like Martin Ødegaard and Takefusa Kubo, who gained experience and playing time at loaned clubs before definitively joining the first team. Extended loans allow the player to continue progressing without the immediate pressure of a drastic change, while the buying club secures its rights to the player.
On the other hand, Porto retains a key player for their project for another season and receives financial guarantees with the activation of the clause. This operation is seen as a mutual benefit for both clubs and for Mora himself, who can keep developing and gaining experience in high-level competitions like the Champions League.
Although Real Madrid has not released an official statement confirming the deal, internal sources at the club assert that negotiations are well advanced, and the payment of Rodrigo Mora's clause is just a matter of time.
In a recent press conference, coach Francesco Farioli commented on the player's future:
Rodrigo is a valuable player for us, but we understand the players' aspirations and the interest of top clubs. The important thing is that this is done respectfully and beneficially for everyone.
These words reflect the good relationship between both clubs and the confidence that the operation will be carried out in an orderly manner and with respect to all involved parties.
Rodrigo Mora's imminent arrival adds to a list of strategic signings by Real Madrid in recent years, where the addition of young talents has been crucial for squad renewal.
Real Madrid continues to bet on young talent
Players like Vinícius Jr., Federico Valverde, or Eduardo Camavinga have shown that investing in young players with potential is a successful formula to ensure generational change and maintain the team's competitive level. Rodrigo Mora could follow this path and become one of Real Madrid's pillars in the medium term.
The 70 million euros release clause that Real Madrid is willing to pay demonstrates the club's trust in the player and his ability to perform at the highest level. In a market where prices rise each season, this operation stands out as one of the most important and strategic moves of the current transfer window.
The deal, expected to close in the coming days, will be one of the major headlines of the transfer market and will have a significant impact on the Real Madrid dressing room.
