Tijuana Rejects Reported European Bids for 16-Year-Old Gilberto Mora During U-20 World Cup

Mexico’s coaches advocate a patient move that prioritizes playing time in Europe for the teenage midfielder.

Overview

  • Bolavip, citing 365Scores, reports offers of €6 million from Portugal and €8 million from England were made to Mora’s agent and declined.
  • Club Tijuana is reportedly holding out for a far higher fee, with expectations up to €20 million and a willingness to sell up to 50% of his rights only after the World Cup.
  • Mora has three goals and one assist in the group stage, including a brace against Spain, and Chilean outlets have highlighted him as a standout.
  • Javier Aguirre said the staff chose the U-20 World Cup over senior friendlies for Mora’s next step and urged Xolos to focus on a European destination that ensures minutes.
  • Transfermarkt lists his value at roughly $5.2 million, and he turns 17 next week as Mexico meets host Chile in the round of 16 in Valparaíso.
