Liverpool Submit Bid for Gilberto Mora, He’d Be Iraola’s Next Junior Kroupi

Liverpool have reportedly submitted a £37m permanent transfer bid to sign Club Tijuana attacking midfielder Gilberto Mora, according to reports from Mexico. The 17-year-old talent has already earned 13 caps for Mexico and featured regularly at the 2026 World Cup. The writer compares Mora's potential development path under Andoni Iraola to Eli Junior Kroupi's breakthrough success at Bournemouth.

The bid arrives as Liverpool prepare for major squad turnover ahead of 2027 under sporting director Julian Ward. Alongside Mora, the Reds are also monitoring midfield targets Alex Scott, Manu Kone, and Lamine Camara following the departure of Curtis Jones to Inter Milan.
