A young Mexican prodigy has caught the eye of FC Barcelona, as the Catalan giants take their first steps toward securing his signature.
Barcelona has initiated contact with the young attacker’s representatives, marking an early move in what promises to be a competitive race for one of the brightest talents in global football.
With a host of top European and international clubs also in pursuit, the teenager’s future is already generating significant buzz.
The player in question is Gilberto Mora, a versatile forward who has been turning heads with his performances, according to journalist Cesar Luis Merlo.
Primarily a left-winger, Mora is naturally right-footed but adept with both feet, showcasing speed, strength, and exceptional one-on-one skills.
His ability to play across the front line has drawn comparisons to some of the game’s elite attackers.
Barcelona’s interest is not new; they previously invited Mora to train at their famed La Masia academy last year, signaling their long-term admiration for the young star.
His representatives, led by Rafaela Pimenta—who also manages Erling Haaland—have reportedly discussed his career ambitions and transfer demands with the Blaugrana.
Mora’s appeal extends far beyond Barcelona. Clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Ajax, and even Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi currently plays, are among those vying for his signature.
However, FIFA regulations prevent Mora from moving to Europe until he turns 18, meaning any potential transfer is still some time away.
This delay only heightens the anticipation, as clubs position themselves to win his commitment.
Barcelona’s early move underscores their strategy to invest in top young talent from the Americas, aiming to bolster their squad with versatile and dynamic players.
Should they secure Mora’s services, he could become a cornerstone of their attacking future, bringing flair and depth to the team.
