Barcellona beats Real thanks to JJ Gabriel, jewel of the Red Devils
Barcelona is at the forefront to secure JJ Gabriel, the talented fifteen‑year‑old from Manchester United’s youth sector, overtaking Real Madrid in the race for the gem. Thanks to his Irish passport, the boy will be able to move to Europe no earlier than 6 October, when he turns 16.
The desire for a new adventure
The talented fifteen‑year‑old has decided to leave the Red Devils to seek a new challenge, putting the main European powers on the war footing. His decision was confirmed by sources who emphasized his desire to explore opportunities outside Old Trafford.
According to Telegraph Sport, Barcelona has overtaken Real Madrid in the race for the player, making a decisive move. The blaugrana have already initiated contacts, hoping to sign the prodigy once he turns 16.
Towards the end of last season, Gabriel visited Barcelona’s training facilities, meeting pillars such as Sergio Busquets and Wojciech Szczęsny. The meeting reinforced the interest of the Catalan club, which now appears to be nearing the conclusion of the agreement.
Old Trafford’s management was surprised by the English youngster’s decision and is now pulling out all the stops to convince him to stay. The club’s officials have intensified the talks, hoping to reverse the decision in favor of the Red Devils’ future.
Thanks to his Irish passport, Gabriel will be able to move to another European club as soon as he turns 16, on 6 October. Until then, the negotiation remains open, with Barcelona ready to seal the deal before the deadline.
