Benfica and Dortmund in titanic battle for world football’s new darling | OneFootball

Gilberto Mora continues to attract the attention of some of Europe’s top clubs, and Benfica are among the teams closely monitoring the progress of the young Mexican midfielder. The Eagles have already made initial exploratory contacts with a view to a possible move for the Club Tijuana player.

According to TUDN, however, any move to Europe can only happen after Mora turns 18, on October 14, due to FIFA regulations regarding the international transfer of underage players.

According to the same source, Benfica and Borussia Dortmund have already started talks with Rafaela Pimenta, the footballer’s agent, to understand the conditions of a potential deal. At this stage, negotiations are still in their early stages and there is no formal offer from the Lisbon club.

The Reds’ interest comes as no surprise, given the recruitment policy adopted in recent years. Benfica remain alert to some of the biggest talents in world football, looking to get ahead of the competition and develop young players with huge potential.

Borussia Dortmund also have a successful track record in identifying and developing young prospects, which is why both clubs are at the front of the queue to sign the young Mexican international.
