PSG make first move to sign FC Porto wonderkid Rodrigo Mora

Paris Saint-Germain have stepped up their interest in FC Porto starlet Rodrigo Mora.

According to Foot Mercato, they have held talks over a move for the highly-rated Portuguese youngster.

PSG representatives met with influential agent Jorge Mendes around 10 days ago to discuss the 19-year-old’s situation.

While no formal bid has yet been submitted, the meeting signals the Ligue 1 giants are exploring the possibility of bringing the Porto academy graduate to Paris.

Mora remains under contract with Porto until 2030, meaning they are under little pressure to sell.

However, PSG believe there could be an opportunity after the teenager’s development stalled slightly last season.

Following a breakout 2024/25 campaign, Mora struggled to nail down a regular starting place under new Porto manager Francesco Farioli.

The Portugal youth international bagged five goals and two assists in 44 matches across all competitions, but was frequently deployed from the substitutes’ bench.

Despite those modest numbers, Europe’s elite continue to view Mora as one of the game’s most exciting long-term prospects thanks to his technical quality, creativity and versatility across the front line.

PSG sporting director Luis Campos is renowned for identifying talent in the Portuguese market, having signed Joao Neves, Nuno Mendes and Vitinha from the Primeira Liga.

He is a major admirer of Mora. The Porto playmaker is capable of operating from the left wing or in a more central attacking role.

That versatility could prove valuable if Bradley Barcola completes an expected departure this summer as he searches for more playing time.

Mora would also provide another option to support or rotate with Ousmane Dembele following Goncalo Ramos’ move to AC Milan
