Is Gilberto Mora really joining Liverpool next week? Fans now told the ‘reality’ of £42m transfer claim

Liverpool supporters have been given hope of a surprise October transfer this week after claims arrived that Mexican youngster Gilberto Mora will make a move to Anfield.

The Reds have been linked with Mora after the 17-year-old broke out as one of the most exciting talents in world football, and reports in Mexico have suggested that Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign him when he turns 18 next Wednesday.

However, according to Argentine journalist Cesar Luis Merlo, fans should not be getting too excited. While he concedes that Mora is likely to leave Tijuana in January or next summer, the reporter says that nothing has yet been agreed with Liverpool.
