Arsenal initiate move to sign Gilberto Mora
The Gunners have contacted his camp as they weigh a January deal for the 17-year-old, who has a release clause of £20 million-£25 million.
Arsenal contacted representatives of Club Tijuana playmaker Gilberto Mora regarding a potential January transfer, with the Premier League champions exploring a deal for the 17-year-old sensation.
FIFA regulations currently prevent international transfers for Mora, but he turns 18 on October 14, 2026, when eligibility restrictions will no longer apply to the Liga MX side Club Tijuana player.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta views Mora as a long-term creative midfield investment and is prepared to trigger a release clause valued at $28m, reports suggest.
Liverpool has established contact and remains willing to spend up to 40 million dollars, forcing Arsenal to outmaneuver rivals to secure the Mexican international.
While Mora admires Real Madrid and Jude Bellingham, his future increasingly points toward Europe, with the January window providing the first opportunity to formalize an agreement.
