Arsenal have made contact with Club Tijuana over a potential move for 17-year-old Mexican midfielder Gilberto Mora, according to TEAMtalk.
Mora turns 18 this month, which matters because FIFA rules prevent international transfers while a player is under 18. Once he passes that milestone, he becomes eligible to leave Mexico. Arsenal have monitored him for some time, and TEAMtalk claims they are ready to pursue him more aggressively than Premier League rivals and other European clubs.
His contract with Tijuana runs until 2029, but he has a release clause reported to be between €20m and €25m (£16.9m–£21.1m). Real Madrid and Barcelona are also said to be interested. Mora has 13 caps for Mexico and was the country’s youngest-ever World Cup participant.
This is a single report so far, and TEAMtalk’s record on transfer claims is mixed. Worth monitoring, but nothing is certain yet.
