Attributed to original sourceRoma are reportedly close to agreeing a form of co-ownership deal with FC Porto for Rodrigo Mora, paying €25m now and with a clause to buy the other 50 per cent for a set €25m in 2027.
Co-ownership deals used to be commonplace in Italian football, but were banned several years ago.
Now they have crept back in, using the form of clubs retaining a 50 per cent cut of the future sale fee.

The idea would be to pay €25m now with Porto retaining 50 per cent of the sale in future.
However, Roma are eager to include a clause guaranteeing they can wipe that out at a fixed cost of a further €25m in the summer of 2027.
This would give the Giallorossi more control over the total cost of the operation , in case Mora’s value on the market should sky-rocket in the next year.
In turn, they wouldn’t lose too much in case the Portuguese talent doesn’t develop and can be sold off.
