According to journalist Graeme Bailey via TBR, Europe’s giants are circling Gilberto Mora, with Real Madrid, Manchester United, PSG, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and even Inter Miami monitoring the 16-year-old Mexican prodigy.
Premier League giants Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Mohammed Kudus' Tottenham are also pursuing the Club Tijuana prodigy.
Mora made history by breaking Lamine Yamal’s record when he became the youngest player ever to win a major senior international trophy. This milestone came when he lifted the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup with Mexico at just 16 years and 265 days old back in July of this year.

Real Madrid eyes 16-year-old Mora
According to the report, the Mexican sensation has not settled on his future yet, but sources close to the youngster indicate that Real Madrid might be his top choice.
Meanwhile, Mora, who is expected to feature for Mexico at the upcoming 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, cannot transfer to any European club until he is 18 because of FIFA rules.
That said, the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester United could reach an agreement with Tijuana immediately, allowing the talented 16-year-old talent to officially make the switch once he turns 18.
