Seventeen-year-old Mexican midfielder Gilberto Mora remains under contract with Club Tijuana Xolos until 2029 and cannot move abroad before his 18th birthday on 14 October 2026. Following his standout performance in the 2026 World Cup, his Transfermarkt valuation rose from €10 million to €25 million, a 150% increase that makes him the most expensive player in the 2026 Leagues Cup. European interest has intensified, with Paris Saint-Germain identifying Mora as a long-term target and planning to wait until he is eligible to negotiate. While Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Juventus have been linked to the player, Mora recently revealed that a potential trial with Real Madrid in 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Xolos goalkeeper Antonio Rodríguez has suggested that the current tournament may represent Mora’s final period with the club as European interest grows. Off the pitch, Mora has begun balancing his professional career with academic pursuits. He has enrolled in an online Business Administration program at Universidad Anáhuac through its Mérida campus, a format intended to accommodate his training and travel requirements. On the pitch, Mora recently scored the winning penalty in a 1-0 victory over León, helping Xolos top the Apertura 2026 standings. His rising profile continues to draw significant public attention, including a “rock-star reception” from fans in San Luis Potosí. As Xolos competes in the Leagues Cup, coach Sebastián Abreu has noted the tournament serves as a vital platform for Mora’s international exposure.
