Real Madrid monitoring Club Tijuana teenager Mora alongside Benfica and Dortmund

Real Madrid are monitoring Club Tijuana attacking midfielder Gilberto Mora, with the 17-year-old widely expected to depart the Mexican club next summer, according to Transfermarkt. Benfica and Borussia Dortmund are also named as interested parties, though no formal approach, agreed fee or negotiations have been reported by any of the clubs involved.

Mora has attracted attention after becoming the youngest player to score for the Mexican national team, a milestone Transfermarkt cites without specifying the match or his exact age at the time. His market value is listed at €25 million — an estimate rather than a reported asking price or any fee agreed between clubs.

The distinction between scouting interest and a concrete transfer bid is significant here. Transfermarkt’s account places Mora on Real Madrid’s radar at the monitoring stage only, and does not identify a leading club among the suitors or suggest that Los Blancos have contacted Tijuana or the player’s representatives.

The expected summer departure is described as an anticipated possibility rather than a confirmed plan. The report does not clarify whether that expectation stems from a contractual situation, a club decision or the player’s own intentions, so the timeline should be treated with caution.

A separate report from Football Transfers has also named Barcelona as interested alongside Real Madrid, though that claim does not feature in Transfermarkt’s update, which limits its list of suitors to Benfica and Dortmund without ranking them or describing a bidding contest.

For now, the picture around Mora is one of growing European attention rather than an imminent deal. No bid, medical or contract signing has been reported, and the next meaningful development will be whether a club moves from scouting to a formal approach as the summer window approaches.
