Barcelonaโ adn Real Madrid Eyeโค Mexican Midfield Prospect Gilberto Mora
Jakarta – โคSpanish โฃfootball giants Barcelonaโฃ and Real Madrid are closely tracking 17-year-old Mexican midfielder โฃGilberto Mora, according to reports. โBoth clubs have received encouraging assessments of the young player’s potential.
Mora recently starred for Mexico in their 2025 Concacaf gold Cup victory, becoming the youngest player โฃto debut for the national โฃteam -โ known as El Tri -โข and featuring as a starter โin the โfinal. โคHe further showcased his talent at the 2025โ U-20 World Cup, scoring โคthree goals โand providing two assists despite Mexico’s quarter-final loss to Argentina โฃ(0-2).
A source within Barcelona confirmed theโ club’s interest, stating, “We received veryโข interesting reports about him. He’s just been in the media spotlight, and everyone is talking about him. He’s a very skilled midfielder, a player with very good prospects, although it’s too early to say what his ultimate goal is.”
Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, reportedly dispatched his confidant, Joao Amaral, to Chile to observe Moraโ and other promising players during the U-20 World Cup. Real madrid is also evaluating Mora, โคviewing him as a standout talent โขfrom the 2008 birth year generation and a potential creative force following the anticipated departures of veterans Toni kroos and Luka Modric.
Though, due to Mora’s current age, both clubs will need to wait until he turns 18 before they can legally pursue a transfer. Real Madrid also sees potential in developing the โฃMexican market.
