Club Tijuana braces for potential exit of Gilberto Mora
The 17-year-old talent, Gilberto Mora, has caught the eye of top European clubs after his standout World Cup performance. Club Tijuana, leading Liga MX with 6 points from 2 games (2 wins), may be forced to sell their star for his £18.4m release clause.
What happened at the World Cup?
Mora started in three of Mexico’s five World Cup matches, including the game against England at the Azteca. His performance impressed former players like Nicky Butt, who compared him to a future Barcelona player.
Why it matters for Club Tijuana
The club knows it’s only a matter of time before Mora moves to Europe. With a contract until 2029 and 10 goals in 53 games, his sale may be inevitable. Club Tijuana, coming off a 1-0 win over León, looks to strengthen for their next match against Atlético San Luis on August 1.
What’s next for Gilberto Mora?
Arsenal and Liverpool are planning to pay his release clause. Mora, who debuted at 15, has proven to be a key player for the team. His future in Europe seems inevitable, but his legacy at Club Tijuana is already written.
