Haaland's agent confirms it, Juni Calafat's last big wish

Rafaela Pimenta, agent of the Norwegian forward, states that Real Madrid is after one of her players

Rafaela Pimenta, one of the most influential agents in world soccer, has confirmed on "El Chiringuito" that young Mexican talent Gilberto Mora is on Real Madrid's radar. The Brazilian representative, who inherited the client portfolio of the legendary Mino Raiola, is known for being Erling Haaland's agent. However, the Norwegian from Manchester City, whom the white team will face again, is not the protagonist this time.

According to Rafaela Pimenta, the club's interest is not coincidental. Gilberto Mora, at 16 years old, has caught the attention of several European giants thanks to his performance in Liga MX and his outstanding participation with the Mexican national team. The footballer made his debut in Liga MX at just 15 years old, setting records as the youngest player to debut, assist, and score.

Rafaela Pimenta confirms Real Madrid's interest

Real Madrid's interest is part of its strategy to attract talent, led by Juni Calafat, who has been key in signing stars like Vinícius. However, Rafaela Pimenta clarified that any move to Europe must prioritize the player's growth, avoiding rushing his jump to the Old Continent. The agent highlighted that Gilberto Mora, with 36 appearances and 5 goals in Tijuana, is at a crucial stage of his career.

"The youngest boy to play in the Gold Cup in the history of the international competition. He's linked to Real Madrid, it's normal for him to be linked to big teams", she commented.

"He's a very young boy, very strong. We're still going to hear many simulations, thoughts, and ideas. I prefer for him to go where he's going to be happy", added Rafaela Pimenta.

Real Madrid gains more international presence

The possible arrival of Gilberto Mora at Real Madrid has caused excitement among Mexican fans, who see him as the next great reference. Although clubs like América and Chivas have also shown interest, Rafaela Pimenta seems focused on an international future for her client.

For now, negotiations are at a preliminary stage. However, the backing of an agent of Rafaela Pimenta's stature and the interest of a club like Real Madrid position Gilberto Mora as a gem.
