Liverpool may pursue Gilberto Mora after he turns 18
Summary

Liverpool must wait to sign Gilberto Mora, a 17-year-old talent from Tijuana, due to FIFA regulations prohibiting international transfers until players turn 18. Mora, who gained attention at the World Cup, has a release clause estimated at £20 million. Other top European clubs are also interested, complicating Liverpool's pursuit. He recently signed a contract extension with Tijuana that keeps him there until 2029. The club may explore a pre-contract deal, allowing them to finalize a transfer once Mora turns 18 in October.
