Liverpool Eyes 17-Year-Old Mexican Talent Gilberto Mora for Summer Transfer

Liverpool is closely watching Club Tijuana attacking midfielder Gilberto Mora as they prepare for a possible move next summer. The 17-year-old has caught the attention of several top European clubs, intensifying competition for his signature.

Interest from Europe’s Biggest Clubs

Mora’s strong start to the current Liga MX season—scoring five goals and providing one assist in seven matches—has made him a hot prospect. Alongside Liverpool, elite teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich are reportedly following his progress closely.

The Premier League side has tracked Mora since his breakthrough at Tijuana, but with his rising profile, other clubs are eager to sign him as well.

Transfer Timing and Contract Situation

According to reports, a January transfer is unlikely due to FIFA rules preventing Mora from moving to Europe before his 18th birthday on October 14. This means any serious offers will have to wait until the summer transfer window.

Club Tijuana appears ready to sell their prized academy product after this season. To protect their interests, they recently signed Mora to a long-term contract running until 2029, ensuring they hold strong bargaining power for any future deal.

FIFA Rules Delay Move

Because Mora cannot legally transfer to a European club until he turns 18, interested teams must wait. This delay gives competitors more time to observe and possibly make offers.

While the summer window looks like the prime opportunity for Liverpool to act, the club will continue monitoring Mora’s development closely, weighing their options before making a final approach.
