Liverpool FC has made exploratory contact with Club Tijuana over a potential transfer for Gilberto Mora, the 17-year-old attacking midfielder who became one of the breakout stories of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The teenager helped Mexico advance to the knockout stage, and now half of Europe’s elite clubs are circling.
Mora’s release clause sits at approximately $20 million following a contract extension with Tijuana through 2029.
The transfer race and what Liverpool is up against
Liverpool isn’t alone at the table. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea have all reportedly shown interest in the Mexican teenager.
No agreement has been finalized between Liverpool and Tijuana. The contact remains exploratory. Given the competition from clubs with equally deep pockets, Liverpool will need to move with conviction if they want to land Mora.
