Manchester United have done well to groom young players in the past, and they could help the midfielder fulfil his potential. Similarly, Real Madrid have an ambitious project and a tremendous reputation. They have groomed young players into superstars over the years, and it is no surprise that the player prefers to join them.

As far as Chelsea are concerned, they have shown a willingness to invest in young players in recent years. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the midfielder to join them.

Mora should look to join a club where there is a clear pathway for his development. He will need opportunities to improve. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit him. Although he’s not ready for the first team yet, he should look to join a club with a clear plan for his development. It remains to be seen what he decides. He is an elite talent with a bright future, and whoever ends up signing him could have a future star on their hands.
