Mora set multiple age records in Mexico’s 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup by debuting at 16 years, 257 days, recording an assist at 16 years, 261 days, and playing in the final at 16 years, 265 days, surpassing milestones once held by Pelé and Lamine Yamal. His commanding midfield performances helped Mexico secure back-to-back Gold Cup titles under coach Javier Aguirre. FIFA’s Article 19 prohibits international transfers of minors, meaning Mora must wait until he turns 18 on October 14, 2026, before moving to a European club. Contract data shows Mora earns 200,000 Mexican pesos per month (about $10,000 USD), a fraction of veterans such as Raúl Jiménez, who makes roughly 11 million pesos monthly. Xolos de Tijuana are preparing a contract revision to raise Mora’s release clause and lock in his services amid growing overseas interest.
