August market: Roma close to Mora from Porto, Vlahovic heading to Besiktas

Roma is getting increasingly close to completing the signing of Rodrigo Mora from Porto. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the two clubs are now down to the details of a deal that involves an outlay of around 35 million euros, plus a 40 percent cut on any future resale of the player. This latter clause implies that Porto would retain a direct financial interest in the player even after the transfer, tying part of its earnings to a possible future sale by Roma.

The available sources do not specify the length of the contract that would bind Mora to Roma, nor the expected timeline for finalizing the deal. It is also not indicated whether the two clubs have already reached a complete agreement or whether further technical details remain to be settled.

On the departures front, Dusan Vlahovic is about to leave Juventus for Besiktas. According to Eurosport, the Serbian forward has accepted the three-year contract proposed by the Turkish club. The sources do not report figures relating to the transfer, nor details on the salary provided for in the new agreement, limiting themselves to confirming the player’s acceptance of the contract.

The two deals, although involving different clubs, paint the picture of a transfer window in which Roma is investing in a player coming from the Portuguese league, while Juventus is preparing to part with one of its forwards in favor of a move to Turkey. The available sources do not allow one to establish whether the two situations are in any way connected on a financial level or in terms of the respective clubs’ budgets.

Both pieces of news currently stem from a single source: TuttoMercatoWeb for the Mora deal, Eurosport for Vlahovic’s transfer. No independent confirmation has emerged for either negotiation.

The figure of 35 million euros plus 40 percent on a future resale remains, for now, the most precise data available on the two ongoing deals.
