Liverpool’s reported £37.5m bid for Mexican teenage talent Gilberto Mora proves that the Reds’ transfer strategy has well and truly changed. Liverpool went from a sleeping giant to fulfilling their potential as one of the biggest football clubs on the planet.
Liverpool’s transfer strategy has completely transformed. There was a belief that the buck would stop there, but Liverpool spent another £123m to bring Bradley Barcola to the club this summer, and now we have an even bigger indication that things have changed massively behind the scenes at boardroom level.
Rumours of a £37.5m bid for 17-year-old Gilberto Mora prove that Liverpool have changed tactics in the transfer game According to journalist David Faitelson, who is followed by 3.9 million people on X, told TUDN: “I’m told in Tijuana that they received word from Gilberto Mora’s representative, a Brazilian woman named Rafaela Pimenta, that there’s an offer from an English club, in this case Liverpool, for a record-breaking sum exceeding $50 million for Xolos de Tijuana for Gilberto Mora, who turns 18 next week.” The $50m (£37.5m) bid is the biggest by some margin that Liverpool will have paid for a teenager. “So there is movement around Gilberto Mora who in Mexico is considered as the next big thing, and it’s going to be a very, very interesting situation to follow.”
