Real Madrid have officially completed the signing of 18-year-old attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto in a $47.9 million blockbuster deal, club sources confirmed today.
The Spanish giants moved swiftly to secure the highly-rated Portuguese talent following months of intense scouting and negotiations. The deal comes due to Madrid’s strategic focus on building a new generation of midfield maestros to succeed the likes of Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos, both of whom are nearing the twilight of their careers.
Rodrigo Mora, widely regarded as one of Portugal’s most exciting young prospects, has impressed with his vision, dribbling, and creativity in the final third — drawing comparisons to a young Kaká.
“It’s a dream come true to join the biggest club in the world,” Mora said upon signing. “I’m ready to learn, grow, and give everything for this badge.”
The deal includes performance-based add-ons and a long-term contract, with Mora expected to initially integrate into Real Madrid’s first-team rotation and gradually take on a bigger role.
FC Porto, while reluctant to part with their teenage sensation, acknowledged the player’s ambition and the magnitude of the offer.
This signing is another clear signal that Real Madrid’s youth revolution is in full swing — with Rodrigo Mora now the latest jewel in their crown.
