Arsenal have suffered a major blow in the race to sign Gilberto Mora, the attacking midfielder from Club Tijuana, after Liverpool made an official offer for him, according to TEAMtalk.
Gilberto Mora, 17 years old, is attracting interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona, after catching the eye with his performances for Club Tijuana and the Mexico national team, for which he has played 13 matches and participated in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The source mentioned that Arsenal have been tracking the player for some time and were getting ready to make a strong move to sign him, especially with him nearing his 18th birthday on October 14, which will allow the club to sign him during the winter transfer window.
The report confirmed that Liverpool have made an offer exceeding $50 million for the signing of Gilberto Mora, indicating that negotiations are progressing. This was inferred from the player's absence in Mexico's match against the United States and his return to Club Tijuana.
Rafaela Pimenta, the player's representative, has informed the Mexican club of an offer from Liverpool, while journalist David Feitlson considered Gilberto Mora's absence from the match against the United States as an indication that negotiations are progressing and the deal is approaching new stages.
