Inter Miami are preparing a major move on the transfer market as they attempt to sign Gilberto Mora, the 16-year-old Mexican sensation who has been turning heads with Tijuana and Mexico’s U20 national team.
PSG are also targeting Mora, viewing him as one of the most promising signings in Europe. Barcelona and Arsenal are already circling, but the Florida club plans to use Lionel Messi’s influence as their secret weapon to win the race.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Inter Miami’s strategy is to offer Mora a unique development project alongside Messi — an opportunity that European clubs simply cannot provide at his age.
Messi’s strategic advantage
PSG have been tracking Mora for months, but like their European rivals, they are restricted by FIFA regulations prohibiting international transfers of minors. Mora cannot officially move to Europe until October 2026, complicating the plans of clubs like PSG, Barça and Arsenal. Meanwhile, his contract with Tijuana and his rapid rise with Mexico make negotiations even more delicate.
Inter Miami believe they have a real advantage. The MLS environment — Spanish-speaking, culturally familiar and less intense than Europe — could convince Mora and his family. With growing interest, Tijuana may soon be pressured to listen to offers.
Gilberto Mora’s future remains wide open. Whether he chooses to grow under Messi in Miami or waits for a European giant, his decision could define the next era of football’s young stars. Every major club is already watching.
