What happened. Portuguese reports warn Roma are not close to signing Rodrigo Mora because Porto want strong purchase guarantees, and negotiations have made no significant progress.

• Italian media claimed a verbal loan agreement with option to buy.
• Porto want easy-to-achieve guarantees for a permanent transfer.
• Roma prefer Champions League qualification as the obligation trigger.

Roma fans know this pattern: deals that seemed done can fall apart at the final hurdle.
