Emegypt reports that Barcelona has been closely monitoring Mora’s progress.

Interest Beyond La Liga: Premier League Giants Join the Chase

While Barcelona and Real Madrid scout Mora’s talents, Premier League titans Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United also express interest in the Mexican gem. Yet, any potential transfer would have to wait until Mora reaches the appropriate age.

Agent Rafaela Pimenta on Mora’s Unique Talent

Mora’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has acknowledged the approaches from top clubs, stating, “Gilberto Mora is a versatile player, capable of competing at the highest level.” Pimenta, with over 30 years of experience, is confident in Mora’s readiness for elite competition and regards him as a potential generational talent.

Protective of the young star, Pimenta remains keen on allowing Mora space to grow naturally while recognizing his potential to become a pivotal figure in Mexican soccer over the next two decades. Despite the buzz, she emphasizes the importance of shielding Mora from excessive pressure and media scrutiny.
