Massive European clubs such as Barcelona have been linked with Tijuana midfielder Gilberto Mora. Recent reports suggest that offers from Europe have already arrived for Mora, but Tijuana have rejected them because of their low value. According to reports, Tijuana will not sell Mora for less than €15 million ($17.4 million), with the team expecting the eventual fee to be almost double that. Mora will have to wait until he turns 18 to be able to move away from Liga MX due to FIFA’s regulations. However, teams can strike a deal with Tijuana beforehand and wait until the midfielder reaches adulthood to make the move. Mora’s agent Rafaela Pimenta told TUDN that with €15 million ($17.4 million) she cannot even buy one of Gilberto Mora’s legs.

FC Barcelona has scouts at the U-20 World Cup to observe young talent, and Gilberto Mora is on their radar. The sporting management considers him a player to watch for the future, but his youth is a factor distancing him from the club's priorities. His status as a non-EU player would prevent him from joining Barcelona until he turns 18. He will turn 17 on October 14, so there would be a one-year wait before he could be registered. The club currently wants to sign players who can contribute immediately. His representative, Rafaela Pimenta, stated that for 15 million dollars "not even a leg" of the young attacking midfielder could be bought. The price continues to increase daily. Barcelona will not make a move for his signing now unless there is a change of plans.
