Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly preparing to activate a £18.4 million buyout clause for 17‑year‑old Mexican winger Gilberto Mora, who has drawn attention with his performances in the World Cup.
Mora debuted for Club Tijuana at 15 and has become a regular, recording ten goals and two assists across 53 appearances for the side.
Former Manchester United and England midfielder Nicky Butt praised Mora’s composure in high‑pressure matches, noting that the young player could be at a top club such as Barcelona within two years.
Club Tijuana’s contract now includes the buyout clause, and Mora has three years remaining on his deal, making a move to Europe attractive for the Premier League clubs.
Should the transfer proceed, it would represent a significant step in Mora’s career and could see him join one of the world’s leading football clubs.
