Gilberto Mora linked with Premier League move?
Mora is considered one of the best young players in midfield and has been linked with Liverpool. Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been questioned over Liverpool’s interest in Mora.
The Argentina international insists the 17-year-old is an exceptional talent, which is why Liverpool have been mentioned as a potential transfer destination.
“Honestly, I didn’t see anything about it. When something like this happens, you’re always careful about what you say out of respect for the player and his club. But if they’re mentioning him as a potential Liverpool player, he’s definitely a great player. There’s a reason why they’re mentioning his name,” he told ClaroSport.

It remains to be seen whether they will continue their interest and make a formal offer to sign a contract.
The opportunity to join Liverpool would be an exciting one for the young playmaker. Playing regular football in England will bring out the best in him and allow him to develop further.
