Real Madrid is considering the replacement for Rodrygo Goes, who is a target for Manchester City in these final weeks of the summer transfer window, and has set its sights on the new jewel of Porto: Rodrigo Mora.
The merengue team has its eyes on the young Portuguese attacking midfielder at the request of Xabi Alonso, who sees him as the ideal fit to play on the right wing and link up with other forwards like Vinícius and Mbappé.
Rodrigo Mora, on Real Madrid's radar
Although his natural position is attacking midfielder, Rodrigo Mora has shown great performance as a right winger. Last season, in that role, he played four matches and scored four goals, demonstrating his adaptability and effectiveness.
In total, he ended the season with 12 goals and 4 assists in 40 appearances, standing out for his mobility, boldness, and ability to receive and turn in tight spaces.

Xabi Alonso's great desire post Rodrygo
For Xabi Alonso, Mora's arrival would not only cover the potential absence of Rodrygo but also provide an alternative in the attacking midfield, a position where the team will be without Jude Bellingham for the first few months due to injury.
Florentino Pérez believes that the signing aligns with the policy of acquiring young talents with long-term potential. Furthermore, the Portuguese player could form partnerships with players like Vinícius Jr and Kylian Mbappé, boosting Real Madrid's attacking prowess.
The addition of Rodrigo Mora could lead to the departure of other players. Brahim Díaz is one who may see a reduced role, while the future of Dani Ceballos is also in doubt with the prospect of signing an additional central midfielder.
On the positive side, Mora looks to be an ideal complement to Franco Mastantuono on the right flank, providing Alonso with a wide range of tactical options.

Movements at Porto and in the market
The fact that Rodrigo Mora did not play in Porto's league debut against Vitória Guimarães has fueled rumors of his departure. Portuguese media suggest that the club is keeping him out in anticipation of a significant negotiation.
Losing the young talent would be a blow for Francesco Farioli, but Real Madrid's offer may be hard to refuse.
If Rodrygo's sale goes through, the signing of Rodrigo Mora emerges as a strategic option to reinforce both the right-wing and attacking midfield positions, both in the short and long term. His talent has made him a priority for Xabi Alonso.
It all depends on what happens at the end of the transfer window, where Manchester City's intention to sign the Brazilian could prompt Real Madrid to make a strong return to the market for major signings.
