Club Tijuana has a new hero. The 17-year-old midfielder, Gilberto Mora, has been praised for his skill and vision on the field. Despite his youth, he has already played 45 games with the first team and scored eight goals. His market value has increased to 4 million euros and the trend is that it will continue to rise, especially due to the great interest he has generated in Europe. Mora has confirmed what most people already know: "Several important clubs have already contacted me. But I am focused on playing football and what I do on the field. Everything else will come naturally". Camacho, a specialist in Mexico, is sure that his signing with a European club is just a matter of time. "His profile fits perfectly with what big clubs are looking for, mainly in leagues like the Spanish one". "He is a creative midfielder who knows how to maintain possession of the ball under pressure and always looks for the decisive pass. Mora's positional flexibility, his maturity with the ball, and his ability to define make him a long-term investment for clubs looking for talent in America before they become too expensive". One of the challenges in Mexican football is overpricing. Tijuana already asks around 30 million dollars (26 million euros) and that's just for a percentage of Mora's transfer rights. What will happen to the young talent?
