AS Roma sign Porto teenager Rodrigo Mora
19.08.2026 — The 19-year-old forward joins AS Roma while FC Porto retains a buy-back right tied to a reported €15 million fee.
AS Roma completed the transfer of 19-year-old Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto on 19.08.2026, announcing the capture of a forward who has been regarded as one of Porto's brightest young talents.
Negotiations between the clubs stretched over several weeks. The final agreement includes a clause that allows FC Porto to repurchase the player for 50% of the amount AS Roma is currently paying. The fee, according to media reports, is €15 million.
Player record and role
Mora made 80 appearances for the Portuguese club across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing 6 assists. Those numbers helped establish him as a regular presence in Porto's squad despite his youth.
The deal closes a lengthy transfer process and hands Roma a young attacker with experience at senior level in Portugal. Details published so far underline a structure that keeps Porto tied to the player's future through the buy-back mechanism.
The move was framed by Roma as a significant investment in youth; FC Porto secured terms that could bring the player back should his value rise.
