Real Madrid are continuing to monitor Club Tijuana attacking midfielder Gilberto Mora, with the 17-year-old expected to leave the Mexican club next summer, Transfermarkt report. The update, published on Tuesday 29 September, describes interest rather than a bid or an agreed transfer; Benfica and Borussia Dortmund are also named among Mora’s suitors.

Mora has drawn attention after becoming the youngest player to score for Mexico, according to Transfermarkt. The report does not give the match details or his exact age at the time, and offers no indication that Real Madrid have opened negotiations with Tijuana or the player’s representatives.

Real Madrid’s interest remains at monitoring stage

That distinction matters in a story with a highly rated teenager and several European clubs in the frame. Transfermarkt’s account places Mora on Real Madrid’s radar, but does not identify a formal approach, an agreed fee or a decision from the player about his next club.

The report describes Mora as a Mexican wonderkid and says a departure from Club Tijuana is expected next summer. It does not explain whether that expectation comes from a club position, a contractual arrangement or the player’s own plans, so the timing should be treated as a reported possibility rather than a confirmed transfer schedule.

Transfermarkt lists Mora’s market value at €25 million. That figure is an estimate, not a reported asking price or a fee agreed between clubs, and the report does not provide a prospective transfer amount.

Benfica and Borussia Dortmund also named as suitors

Benfica and Borussia Dortmund are the other clubs Transfermarkt identifies as interested in Mora. The item does not rank the suitors or describe a bidding contest, leaving Real Madrid’s monitoring as the clearest detail about Los Blancos’ position.

A separate report from Football Transfers has also described Barcelona as interested alongside Real Madrid, but its account presents a different picture of the clubs’ relative standing in the race. That claim is not part of Transfermarkt’s update, which names Benfica and Dortmund as suitors without setting out a leading group or confirming Barcelona’s involvement.

For now, the reports point to growing attention around Mora rather than a concrete deal. Real Madrid have not been reported as making an offer in the available account, and the presence of other interested clubs does not by itself establish that negotiations are under way.

Possible summer departure is the next milestone

The next development to watch is whether Mora does leave Tijuana next summer, as Transfermarkt expect. The report sets out no date for a decision and mentions no upcoming bid, medical or contract signing.

The same Transfermarkt update notes that the winter window reopens on 1 January 2027, but does not connect that date to a move for Mora. Until there is further information about an approach or negotiations, the story remains one of scouting interest and an anticipated future departure, rather than a transfer nearing completion.
