FC Barcelona don't lose sight of the international market in search of young talents.Joan Laporta and his team are certain that the club's future depends on signing prospects before they break out. In recent weeks, one name has started to gain momentum in the offices at Camp Nou: Gilberto Mora.
The young Mexican midfielder, who currently plays for Xolos de Tijuana, has attracted the interest of several European clubs. However, Barça has taken the lead. According to sources close to the operation, Mora has been closely monitored by blaugrana scouts. His name is already on the list of possible short-term signings.
Gilberto Mora stands out for his vision, tactical intelligence, and ability to organize the midfield. At just 18 years old, he has shown personality in Liga MX and has been compared to Pedri for his style. Although he still has room for improvement, his maturity on the field has surprised many. At Barça, they see him as a future investment to reach the first team.
Ten Million Euros
The deal could be closed for an amount close to €10 million, a price the club considers reasonable for a footballer with so much room for growth. In addition, the player himself would welcome a move to European soccer. Mora wants to compete at the highest level and knows that in Barcelona he would have a unique opportunity.
Those close to the footballer have already made it clear that he won't renew his contract if a significant offer arrives from Europe. Barça has the advantage of having an attractive project, where young players play a leading role. Cases like Pedri, Gavi, Lamine Yamal, or Cubarsí are examples that matter when it comes to convincing emerging talents.
Laporta Is Certain
At the blaugrana club, they especially value Mora's versatility. He can play as an interior, central midfielder, or even further forward. His profile fits with FC Barcelona's playing philosophy, and he is seen as capable of adapting to the possession and high-pressing style Hansi Flick wants.
The sporting management, led by Deco, has already started preliminary contacts with his camp, despite some financial limitations. Barça trusts it could close the signing with a formula similar to the one used in the past with Pedri or Ronald Araújo. Sign at a low cost, develop in the reserve team or through a strategic loan, and then move up to the first team.
Joan Laporta is convinced that signing young talent is key to competing with Europe's top clubs. Gilberto Mora could be Barça's next great discovery. The "new Pedri" is in the spotlight. If nothing goes wrong, Barça could once again make a quiet but impactful move in the market. The blaugrana see the Mexican as a special talent worth making a decisive move for.
