Gilberto Mora Transfer from Tijuana to FC Barcelona
According to Récord, Barcelona is closely following 16-year-old Tijuana midfielder Gilberto Mora. However, a signing is considered still distant as he is not of legal age.
Barcelona are reportedly keeping a close eye on Gilberto Mora’s situation, according to Mundo Deportivo. Mora’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, confirmed approaches have been made.
TEAMtalk reported that Barcelona are among the elite clubs tracking Gilberto Mora, who is described as Mexico’s next big thing.
TUDN reported that Gilberto Mora had received a formal offer to travel to Barcelona and train with the club's youth categories. Despite being a fan of Real Madrid, he has been associated with Barcelona. Ignacio Ruvalcaba, who oversees the youth ranks at Tijuana, expressed his hope that Mora would remain with Tijuana for the year before possibly moving to Europe. Mora, recognized for his exceptional talent and considered a 'Golden Boy' of Mexican football, received an invitation from Barcelona a year ago to train at La Masía, their renowned youth academy. At 16 years old, he has already made a significant impact in Mexican football, breaking records for his age and showing promise as a versatile player capable of playing multiple attacking roles. Ruvalcaba mentioned that Mora dreams of playing for Real Madrid but acknowledged his potential to succeed in Europe. While Barcelona has extended an invitation, Ruvalcaba hopes Mora will continue to develop at Tijuana for another year before moving to Europe, possibly after the World Cup.
