Reporter: Barcelona is interested in Mexican 16-year-old genius G-Moura and has contacted his agent Pimenta

On October 9, South American reporter César Luis Merlo reported that Barcelona is interested in 16-year-old Mexican midfielder Gilberto Mora.

Reporters revealed that after the match between Mexico and Spain in the third round of the World Youth Championship group stage, relevant personnel of the Barcelona club contacted Gilberto Mora's agent Pimenta, who is also the agent of players such as Santiago Jimenez and Haaland.

Barcelona’s move is aimed at ensuring that when the time comes for signing, an orderly transition can be achieved so that players can continue to develop in a pressure-free environment. The club's personal connections with Rafael Marquez, the former Barcelona B coach and current consultant to the Mexican national team, have become a key channel for Barcelona to obtain first-hand information about the young midfielder's strength and professionalism.

It is worth noting that the 16-year-old Moura needs to abide by FIFA regulations and can only contact offers and start his European journey after reaching the age of 18. It is reported that his minimum release clause is US$20 million, but the Mexican team Tijuana where he plays refuses to sell.

In addition, if he can appear in the 2026 World Cup in the Mexican national team coached by Javier Aguirre, Mora's market value and influence will be significantly increased. Mora will turn 18 on October 14, 2026, and his transfer from Tijuana is most likely to take place in the next winter transfer window.
