Gilberto Mora’s price won’t stop his European move, says Tijuana coach
Tijuana coach Sebastián Abreu confirmed that Gilberto Mora’s market value won’t block his European dream. The young star, valued at around $25 million, could become the most expensive sale in Mexican football history. Club Tijuana, leading Liga MX with 6 points (2W-0D-0L) and a goal difference of +3, prioritizes Mora’s development over financial gain.
What did the coach say about Mora’s future?
Abreu clarified in an interview with Línea de 4 that the club won’t block Mora’s exit if a serious offer arises. "His value will be high, but there’s also a human side. Mora has grown here since age 10, and that has value," he stated. The coach emphasized that Tijuana understands his growth depends on competing in top leagues worldwide.
Which teams are interested in Mora?
While no official negotiations are underway, teams like Benfica and Borussia Dortmund have shown interest in the midfielder. Abreu warned that the club will evaluate any offer openly, as long as it prioritizes Mora’s sporting development. "If they want a box-to-box runner, Gil isn’t that. But if they want someone who breaks tactical lines, they’ll enjoy him," he added.
What’s next for Club Tijuana?
With Mora as a key figure, Club Tijuana prepares to face Atlético San Luis (13th in the table) away on August 1. The team arrives on a two-game winning streak, including a 1-0 victory over León on July 25.
