Man United Receive Price Tag for Gilberto Mora by Club Tijuana

Club Tijuana has firmly staked its claim in the burgeoning transfer saga surrounding Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora, reportedly setting a staggering minimum price of €20 million for the 16-year-old attacking midfielder.

The demanding valuation comes as European giants, most notably Manchester United, intensify their interest in the prodigious talent.

Mora, who has rapidly ascended to prominence by becoming one of the youngest-ever players to feature in Liga MX and the Mexican national team, is currently representing Mexico at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, where his standout performances including a brace against Spain have fueled the transfer speculation.

Sources close to the Liga MX club, affectionately known as Los Xolos, indicate they have already rebuffed early offers believed to be in the region of €6-8 million from clubs in England and Portugal.

Tijuana’s resolve to hold out for their €20 million valuation is a clear signal of their belief in the player’s potential, as meeting this fee would establish Mora as the most expensive sale in Liga MX history, surpassing the transfers of Edson Álvarez and Enner Valencia.

Manchester United is believed to be one of the frontrunners, having tracked the youngster for some time. However, they face stiff competition, with reports linking other European heavyweights, including Arsenal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City, to the player.

While the international transfer of players under the age of 18 is prohibited by FIFA regulations—meaning Mora cannot officially move to Europe until his 18th birthday in October 2026—clubs are free to negotiate a transfer and secure a pre-agreement now.
