Barcelona have reportedly offered 15-year-old Mexican wonderkid Gilberto Mora the chance to come to the club and train with the youth team.

Mora plays for Club Tijuana and recently wrote his name into the history books when he became the youngest goalscorer in the history of Liga MX.

The teenager struck for his team in a 2-1 win against Club León in August at the age of just 15 years and 320 days.

According to TUDN, Mora now has the chance to check out life at Barcelona but must gain his parents’ permission first as he’s still only a minor.

The report says Mora has been offered the opportunity to “get to know the facilities at La Masía, become familiar with Barcelona’s identity and interact with members of the Catalan team’s youth team.”

Feyenoord are also thought to have made a similar offer, with Mora already in demand after making an impact in Mexico.
