Real Madrid , Manchester United and Ajax are said to have him on their wish list.

But Ruvalcaba says Real Madrid is in the best position.

"He has a dream, namely to play for Real Madrid, but he keeps his feet on the ground. He always watches football and loves watching Real Madrid. He really sees himself playing there," he is quoted by barcauniversal.com.

"I think he has a very focused family: his dad has had a very good relationship with him, and I hope we can see him succeed there. He sees himself playing there in the future. He loves watching European football, and I think he has the quality to be in those leagues."

Rafaela Pimenta, who represents Mora, does not hide the fact that there is great interest.

"We have experienced for many years that a player can go to a minor league and then continue the process. If we now go to a big team, the right step depends on the type of player: he is ready to play wherever he wants, she says and continues:

"I can't buy one of Gilberto Mora's legs for $15 million. He can't make a transfer before he's 18, without permission, but if a team wants to talk to him, his team has to approve it. Vinicius and Endrick signed contracts at 17 and then made the transfer at 18."

The 16-year-old has already made three senior appearances for Mexico.
