Chelsea are among the European clubs keeping a close watch on 17-year-old Hilberto Mora from Tijuana. The Mexican attacking midfielder has already attracted interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
Mora is regarded as one of the most promising young talents in Mexican football. At just 17, he has already set several national records and showcased his skills at the 2026 World Cup.
According to reports, the London club is weighing up a move for the Mexican star. Previously, interest in Mora has been linked with Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, while Liverpool has reportedly established contact with the player's representatives.
In June 2026, Tijuana officially announced a new three-year deal with Mora, who received the iconic number 10 shirt. The club has described the agreement as historic for their system.
Tijuana confirmed there is an exit clause in the contract, but the exact amount has not been disclosed. However, Mexican sources have speculated that the release clause could be around €20 million.
