"We're in no rush, but he's developing quickly. We need to study the ideal place for him to develop. At this age, you can't be the best on your team. "If you're the best, you have to move to a higher-level team. At this age, you shouldn't be the leader; you have to be the kid who looks at the others and says, 'I have to be like them.'""
"The 17-year-old attacking midfielder currently plays for Club Tijuana and is already making headlines in Mexico. Despite his age, Mora has accumulated 49 official appearances with the first team, scoring nine goals and providing two assists. Those numbers, combined with his technical ability and maturity on the pitch, have attracted strong interest from several European clubs. Barcelona are among the teams following his development closely, but they are far from alone."
Gilberto Mora is a 17-year-old attacking midfielder for Club Tijuana who has made 49 first-team appearances, scoring nine goals and providing two assists. His technical ability and on-field maturity have drawn strong interest from several European clubs, including Barcelona. Agent Rafaela Pimenta says the priority is his development rather than rushing a transfer and that the ideal environment must be studied. Pimenta advises that at this age a player should not be the team leader but should learn from others. She also criticizes the transfer-market undervaluation of Mexican talents compared with Brazilian players and warns against artificially low pricing.
