Gilberto Mora might prefer a destination other than Liverpool!

Press reports have revealed that Mexican star Gilberto Mora is currently weighing his future options, and it appears that Liverpool will not be among his choices.

Press reports indicate that the Mexican prodigy wants to move to one of the Spanish giants—either Barcelona or Real Madrid—as he is currently enjoying the best days of his football career with both the Mexican national team and his club, Tijuana, at just 17 years of age.

Liverpool interested in Gilberto Mora—but!

Among the Premier League clubs circling, Liverpool have positioned themselves at the front of the queue for the Mexican youngster.

Their insider, Fraser Fletcher, went further, noting: "Liverpool have made direct contact with his representatives, underlining 'serious interest' from Anfield."

Yet the Merseysiders are far from alone in their admiration for Mora. Spain's two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, are also keeping tabs on him, and the latest update from Football Insider's Pete O'Rourke makes for uncomfortable reading on Merseyside.

According to O'Rourke, when the moment eventually arrives for Mora to part ways with Tijuana, his heart is set on a switch to Spain.

Mora might prefer Real Madrid and Barcelona over Liverpool

Football Insider has been told that Gilberto Mora, the teenage sensation from Mexico, would rather head to Spain than sign for Liverpool when next summer comes around.

The reporter went on to explain that the Reds have admired the attacking midfield prodigy for quite some time, yet they are likely to face an uphill battle keeping the two La Liga heavyweights at bay.

According to sources, Mora's "preference" is to make his next move to either Real Madrid or Barcelona, rather than diving straight into the Premier League.
