Liverpool Move Into Contention for Gilberto Mora

Meeting Club Tijuana’s reported £30 million asking price would make Mora’s transfer a record sale for a Mexican club.

Overview

  • Reports citing TEAMtalk say Liverpool have stepped up contact with Club Tijuana and Gilberto Mora’s representatives, a development reported Wednesday by multiple outlets.
  • Club Tijuana is reported to be seeking roughly £30 million for the 18-year-old, a fee that would be a record sale for a Mexican club if agreed.
  • Arsenal remain linked as a leading Premier League suitor and other top European clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, Barcelona and Real Madrid are said to be monitoring the player.
  • No club, Tijuana or Mora’s camp has confirmed an offer or agreement and formal details such as fee structure, guarantees on playing time and contract terms have not been reported.
