Liverpool step up interest in Mexico World Cup star: report
The 17-year-old has drawn interest from Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea after starting three World Cup matches for Mexico.
- Arsenal and Liverpool are competing to sign Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora following his breakout performance at the 2026 World Cup, with reports indicating Arsenal currently leads the race.
- Mora became the youngest player at this summer's World Cup, starting three matches as Mexico reached the last 16; the Tijuana midfielder first debuted at 15 years old.
- Valued at £40 million-plus, Mora has three years remaining on his Tijuana contract, and Liverpool has contacted his camp to "establish the conditions of a deal" with manager Andoni Iraola.
- Real Madrid are "long-term admirers" alongside Manchester City and Chelsea, though FIFA regulations prevent any foreign transfer until Mora turns 18 on October 14.
- The Liga MX season begins later this month, providing Mora further opportunities to impress before any European move materialises; Manchester United declined to pursue him after six months of tracking.
