Benfica and Dortmund ‘make contact’ over Gilberto Mora as Real Madrid join race | OneFootball

Benfica remain in the race for Gilberto Mora, with Real Madrid under José Mourinho and other European heavyweights also circling the 17-year-old Club Tijuana playmaker. His meteoric rise took him to the 2026 World Cup.

According to TUDN, Benfica and Borussia Dortmund have made initial contact to understand the conditions of a possible move, speaking with the player and his close entourage.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are monitoring, while Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal are following his progress.

Mora cannot move to Europe until he turns 18 on 14 October, so any transfer could be completed from January. He recently extended his Tijuana contract to 2029.

There is no agreement and no formal offer has been confirmed, but Benfica are among the clubs to have taken initial steps.
