Paris Saint-Germain have stepped up their interest in FC Porto starlet Rodrigo Mora. According to Foot Mercato, they have held talks over a move for the highly-rated Portuguese youngster.
The 19-year-old has been on PSG’s radar for some time, with the reigning European champions monitoring one of Portugal’s brightest emerging talents despite a mixed 2025/26 campaign.

PSG representatives met with influential agent Jorge Mendes around 10 days ago to discuss Mora’s situation.
While no formal bid has yet been submitted, the meeting signals the Ligue 1 giants are exploring the possibility of bringing the Porto academy graduate to Paris.
Mora remains under contract with Porto until 2030, meaning the Portuguese club are under little pressure to sell.
However, PSG believe there could be an opportunity after the teenager’s development stalled slightly last season.
Following a breakout 2024/25 campaign, Mora struggled to nail down a regular starting place under new Porto boss Francesco Farioli.

The Portugal youth international featured in 44 matches across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing two assists, but was frequently deployed from the substitutes’ bench.
Despite those modest numbers, Europe’s elite continue to view Mora as one of the game’s most exciting long-term prospects thanks to his technical quality, creativity and versatility across the front line.
PSG sporting director Luis Campos is renowned for identifying talent in the Portuguese market, having signed Joao Neves, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha from the Primeira Liga.
He is understood to be a major admirer of Mora. The Porto playmaker is capable of operating from the left wing or in a more central attacking role.
