Messi’s Inter Miami and PSG reportedly battling for U-20 World Cup rising star

The U-20 World Cup has long served as a showcase for emerging talent, offering top clubs the opportunity to scout and sign future stars. Paris Saint-Germain and Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami appear to be following that tradition, as both clubs are reportedly eyeing a standout player from Chile 2025.

According to Marca, Gilberto Mora is being closely monitored by PSG as a potential signing for the near future. “The French club is said to have requested scouting reports on the Mexican player and is among the clubs that could enter the race for the U-20 World Cup star,” reported the Spanish outlet, citing insider Iker Carrera.

PSG would be the latest in a growing list of European giants linked to Mora. In recent days, similar reports have surfaced about interest from Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Ajax.

While European powerhouses are reportedly circling, Mora may have an option much closer to home. “Inter Miami are also tracking the player’s future and could try to convince him to join Messi — something that would certainly be a major incentive,” Marca reports, citing information from Transfer News.

Gilberto Mora #7 of Mexico controls the ball against Honduras in the second half of the Concacaf Gold Cup semifinals.

That potential move would align with recent decisions by the Herons. In addition to signing global icons like Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, the club has also targeted promising young talent, including Federico Redondo, Telasco Segovia, and Mateo Silvetti.
