Mexican outlet El Universal (via Sport Witness) that Tijuana are preparing a buyout clause of around £18–20 million into Gilberto Mora’s long‑term deal running to 2029, a figure designed to reflect both his current impact and his future upside. It’s claimed that Liverpool and Arsenal are already “planning” to pay that amount, effectively positioning themselves for a bidding war, even though FIFA and UK work‑permit rules mean Mora cannot actually move to England until after his 18th birthday. In practice, that points towards a pre‑agreement or advanced negotiations over the next six to twelve months. Mora has already carved out a place in World Cup history by becoming the second‑youngest player ever to start in a knockout tie, only Brazil icon Pele did so at a younger age, when he was selected against Ecuador at 17 years and 259 days. He is also the youngest Mexican to play at a men’s World Cup, having been used off the bench and from the start during this tournament.
