Gilberto Mora is one of the most promising talents in Mexican soccer. The Xolos de Tijuana midfielder acknowledged that his goal is to play in Europe. But “Morita” wants to take a firm step in his career. After the U-20 World Cup, Gilberto Mora caught the attention of numerous scouts in European football. Mora was already a standout player in the local league and with the Mexican national team. But the World Cup tournament reaffirmed his abilities. In an interview with ESPN, Gilberto Mora acknowledged that he has been approached by several clubs. But far from jumping at the first offer that comes his way, the Mexican midfielder is patiently waiting for the best bidder. "I've always tried to have that mentality, always striving to be better every day, and I think so far I've done well. I still have a lot to learn. With that mentality, I can play for big clubs. I've attracted the attention of several clubs; I don't know, but I try to focus on my football, on the pitch, which is the most important thing, and it will all work itself out," said the Xolos player. Similarly, Gilberto Mora could be one of those called up by Javier Aguirre to attend the 2026 World Cup. The Xolos player already played in the Gold Cup with El Tri, and his call-up wouldn't be out of the question. Mora believes he can contribute a lot to the team under Javier Aguirre. "It's a dream to represent my country in the best way possible. I know my abilities and I believe I can contribute a lot (...) Javier Aguirre is a fantastic coach; he's the right person to lead us in this World Cup," he added. Since 2024, Gilberto Mora has been part of the Xolos de Tijuana first team. The 17-year-old has already played 44 matches with Tijuana's first team. In just over 2,400 minutes on the field, “Morita” has scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists. According to Transfermarkt, Gilberto Mora is valued at $4.7 million. However, recent reports indicate that the player's agents are asking for around $30 million.
