At the moment it’s not a question of an ongoing discussion between Milan and Porto, but rather a scenario that could take shape if the young Portuguese talent were to leave and join the Giallorossi in the coming days. Should Mora go to Roma, Porto are poised and ready to try reach an agreement with both Milan and Gimenez. The next developments in the Mora situation will therefore also be crucial to understanding whether the idea can actually take off. Gimenez gives green light Calciomercato.com state that after days of intense contact with the striker’s entourage, Porto have secured Gimenez’s approval for a loan move to Portugal with the option to buy. The head coach Francesco Farioli helped, having worked tirelessly to convince him. Now the Dragoes will have to try to step up their contacts with Milan to reach an agreement that includes, with some caveats and conditions, an obligation to buy (the amount to be agreed upon).
