FC Porto Reactivated Iván Jaime: Negotiations, Demands, and Potential Future Clubs

With the market accelerating towards closure, FC Porto reactivated Iván Jaime, the Spanish midfielder from Famalicão who has been booked by the dragons since May.

Pepê is an immediate solution to replace Otávio, transferred to Al Nassr, but the midfield needs another creative unit and Iván Jaime’s profile fits the needs, although he still has to be worked on in some aspects of the game, one of which is Defensive reaction to loss of the ball. But these are issues of a different nature, to be sorted out in training.

What matters to keep in mind is that the Spaniard will indeed leave Famalicão and the FC Porto route will open again in force, with hints of a contract valid for five seasons, but still negotiating issues to settle with the Famalicenses.

Iván Jaime appeared smiling in the Famalicão pre-season, but that smile quickly faded when he learned that SAD intended to negotiate his pass for values ​​around 10/12 million euros. Much more than the 5/6 million euros projected before the player ended the season as the best young footballer in the League, voted by captains and coaches of the 18 teams in the league.

To lower these demands, FC Porto proposes that Famalicão retain part of the economic rights, opening up the possibility of also receiving players from the blue and white teams. One of the names that seems to please Famalicão is Abraham Marcus, a 23-year-old striker, but André Franco is also in high demand.

Malaga is an interested party, as it has 25 percent of the pass. If the move to FC Porto does not materialize, the possibility of Iván Jaime heading to Valencia to have a showcase in La Liga is not ruled out. The Ché club does not have the financial means to buy the midfielder and has already made an advance for a simple loan, proposing to pay only the footballer’s wages. Valencia believes that at the close of the market they can exploit the uncertainty regarding the player’s future.

But Iván Jaime wants to play in the Champions League and FC Porto and will wait for the blue and whites to advance. It’s what he’s been doing since the season opened: afraid of contracting an injury that in the past took away his dream of taking the jump, the midfielder has not been called up by João Pedro Sousa. The coach referred the matter to SAD and the latter, in turn, understands that until the market closes, it is not a bad idea to protect such a valuable asset.

The midfielder’s performances in the two semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup – in particular the one he played at Estádio do Dragão, in which he scored a beautiful goal for Cláudio Ramos, dispelled any doubts regarding his enormous potential. A diamond in the rough for Sérgio Conceição, whose talent can take him to higher heights.
