Rising Star Rodrigo Mora

According to The Sun: With every game, Rodrigo Mora's popularity is growing.

This talented 18-year-old footballer caught attention during the last season when he impressed everyone by scoring over ten goals in the league for FC Porto.

He also showcased himself on the international stage: Mora scored in all three qualifying matches for the U-21 EURO, even though he plays three years older.

In the latest match, he opened the scoring in a 3-0 victory over Bulgaria.

A month ago, the player drew attention with another stunning goal in a match against Scotland.

Despite his modest height of 168 cm, Mora instills fear in opponents.

He performs equally well in midfield for Porto and in attack for the national team.

Mora is gradually ceasing to be a 'hidden gem' and is becoming a true star.

Former Porto player Adramane Casame described him as an 'extraordinary player' who will 'make a significant contribution to football.'

Nuno Pimentela, who coached Mora in the U-15 team, noted: 'He sees the game like no one I have ever coached. His tactical intelligence allows him to make the right decisions in most situations – he is always one step ahead.'

Interest in Mora is steadily rising as Real Madrid closely monitors his progress.

The club recently signed several young talented players, such as Din Huysen, Arda Güler, Endik, and Franco Mastantuono. If the club's management is ready to spend money, Mora may join them.

Premier League clubs may also show interest. The Saudi team Al-Ittihad tried to sign him in the summer, offering £43 million, but that offer was significantly insufficient.

Former Chelsea and Tottenham coach Andre Villas-Boas, now the president of Porto, announced the price for Mora.

Villas-Boas stated: 'In discussions with the player, we concluded that we are ready to accept an offer starting from €70 million (£61 million). But this offer was never realized [in the summer].'

Mora will celebrate his 19th birthday only in May next year.

However, by that time, he may find himself on the verge of a significant transfer.

If the young man continues to impress with his performances, Real Madrid is expecting serious competition in the transfer market.
