The answer to Jason's prayers came in the form of the effects caused by his performance in the match against Nacional in the cup tie.
Jason's performance, coupled with Oporto receiving enquiries from Arsenal and Leicester City who had begun to sniff around after having been tipped off by Adele, created a chain reaction that caused the Uventus team to push harder for the deal.
Unfortunately for them, the Oporto team had also become more confident in calling extravagant prices for Jason as he had proven his quality yet again and was now less inclined to reduce their asking price.
In the end, the two sides ended up coming to a compromise.
Jason would join Uventus on a short-term loan without an option to buy, but they would have priority rights to make a bid for Jason first in the coming transfer season, however, they would only retain that right if they made a transfer offer of over a hundred million Euros.
