Although Mora is technically a trequartista who plays centrally behind the striker, there is also the suggestion he could be used as a wide attacking player instead.

(Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images) Sky Sport Italia and Turkish transfer pundits point to a €5m loan with option to buy for a further €45m.
However, Sportitalia expert Alfredo Pedullà and Roma specialist Eleonora Trotta claim that Roma are trying to buy Mora outright this summer.
The proposal would be worth €45m plus add-ons, which is already considerably less than the €70m release clause in his contract with FC Porto.
Mora turned 19 in May and has also been linked with Galatasaray, but the Giallorossi seem to be at a more advanced stage in negotiations right now.
He scored five goals with two assists in 44 competitive games for the club last season.

What happened
Roma are moving to complete the outright signing of Mora from FC Porto, with a reported fee of €45 million plus bonuses. The move follows a loan spell at the Stadio Olimpico where the player reportedly impressed the Giallorossi hierarchy. Porto are open to the sale given the financial package on offer, though final negotiations over the structure of the add-ons are still ongoing. Should the deal go through, it would represent one of Roma's most significant outgoing investments in recent windows and reinforce their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Chance analysis
A €45m+ outlay signals Roma's intent to invest heavily in their attacking line, likely reinforcing a key creative or forward position. For Porto, the departure of a talented young asset provides significant financial firepower for reinvestment. The deal's completion will directly affect Roma's squad depth, wage structure, and tactical flexibility in the upcoming season.
Roma gain a significant attacking reinforcement at a premium price, boosting offensive quality; Porto lose a key player but receive major transfer revenue.
