Overview

  • Barcelona has initiated contact with agent Rafaela Pimenta and, per Sport, now views the 16-year-old as a priority target, with Rafa Márquez’s input cited in reports.
  • Pimenta dismissed a €15 million valuation, and multiple outlets report Xolos and the agent are signaling a fee at or above €20 million.
  • FIFA rules prevent an overseas transfer before age 18, though authorised pre-agreements at 17 are possible, a pathway Pimenta referenced with Vinícius Jr. and Endrick.
  • Mora has starred for Mexico at the U-20 World Cup in Chile with multiple goals and an assist, influencing results against Brazil and Spain.
  • Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, PSG, Arsenal and Ajax are among clubs linked by reports, with Mexican voices urging careful safeguarding of his development and no formal offers confirmed.
