Big money! Newcastle preparing a staggering bid for Rodrigo Mora. The Magpies face fierce competition from Europe's elite

Newcastle's scout is absolutely thrilled with Mora.

Details: According to Sportsnoom, Newcastle's management has placed Porto’s 18-year-old attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora among their top transfer targets for the summer window.

It is reported that Mora’s contract with Porto includes a release clause of around €70 million. While the “Dragons” have no intention of letting their young prodigy go, a substantial offer would make it impossible to keep him at the club.

Newcastle are currently the frontrunners for Mora, having repeatedly sent scouts to Porto matches to closely monitor the midfielder’s performances. According to sources, Mora has made a fantastic impression and has fully convinced the Magpies’ leadership.
