Porto midfielder Rodrigo Mora may leave the club at the end of the season.
Sports Boom reports that Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle United are interested in the 18-year-old playmaker. It will be interesting to see if they decide to offer him a contract.
Reports suggest he could cost around 80 million euros. The Portuguese ‘wonderkid’ has been in good form for Porto this season and is highly rated across Europe. With proper guidance, he could develop into a quality player. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for him. However, he should aim to join a club where he can play regularly. Sitting on the bench at a big club doesn’t do him any good.
The paper claims there could be a “bidding war” for the midfielder in the summer.
The 18-year-old primarily works as an attacking midfielder and will help create chances in the final third with his technical ability and vision. Arsenal and Manchester City could use more quality in the final third. Arsenal in particular are struggling to create chances and players like Martin Odegaard are not at their best.
As far as Manchester City are concerned, Bernardo Silva has been linked with a possible departure in the summer and they will need to properly replace him.
Newcastle have relied too much on Anthony Gordon for creativity. They need a more cutting-edge player in the final third and the 18-year-old would be a long-term investment. It will be interesting to see where Mora ends up.
