Vesper 31,050 Posted July 21, 2025 Share Posted July 21, 2025 Prospect Sheet: Rodrigo Mora (FC Porto) The second issue of the CIES Football Observatory Prospect Sheet, developed in collaboration with Impect, features Portuguese talent Rodrigo Mora. Born in 2007 like Lamine Yamal, the FC Porto’s attacking midfielder achieved an impressive professional career start, scoring ten goals in the Primeira Liga and earning his first call-up to the senior national team, where he should soon make his official debut. With a contract valid until 2030, Rodrigo Mora’s transfer value, as estimated by the CIES Football Observatory’s statistical model, has already reached €53.4m for a top-flight club. This value is set to increase with his future performances, and could quickly exceed the €70m buy-out clause negotiated at the time of his recent contract extension. From a technical profile standpoint, Rodrigo Mora is particularly active in terms of finishing and take on, making him a shooting attacking midfielder with take on ability. Among the footballers with similar characteristics mentioned in the report, notably are another highly coveted player in the ongoing transfer window, Nigeria’s Ademola Lookman, and Brazil’s Philippe Coutinho. >>> Full report >>> Report glossary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkh 751 Posted July 21, 2025 Share Posted July 21, 2025 Chelsea value Nicolas Jackson at between £80m and £100m with Man United and Aston Villa among the clubs interested in signing him. If he were to leave, the £79m Liverpool are paying for Hugo Ekitike would be used as a benchmark for any potential deal. If Jackson was to leave, they may sign a wide player instead of another No. 9 because Neto can also play through the middle. Xavi Simons, Garnacho, Rogers and Kenan Yildiz are some of the players Chelsea are currently looking at. (@SkyKaveh) Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(@SkyKaveh) We know Rogers and Yildiz are virtually untouchable this summer so it’s between Garnacho and Simons surely. I pray we make the easy decision. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa being robbed of CL football cut them deep. The brief from all the reputable journalists have said as much with Rogers. If not off limits completely he’d probably cost £80m+. Plus after they pulled a Clearlake and sold their women’s team they apparently put themselves in a good place PSR wise. And from what I’ve seen on Twitter, Yildiz apparently just recently signed a new deal at Juve and has been given the #10 shirt. Feels like he’s the sort of young player they’re going to build their team around so it’s difficult for me to see them selling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,257 Posted July 21, 2025 Share Posted July 21, 2025 Okay, brief has now gone out to the actual reliable guys. But they are all saying the move likely depends on outgoings. If so, hopefully he’s very committed to us and will be patient. We may need to move Jackson or Nkunku before getting him I guess? Feel like we need to be quick before Arse or even Liverpool turn their full attention to him and convince him over us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
