JJ Gabriel set to join Real Madrid

Real Madrid is very close to announcing the signing of the talented 16‑year‑old attacking midfielder JJ Gabriel, one of Europe’s most coveted gems and current Manchester United player.

The attacking midfielder joined Old Trafford’s academy when he was 11, after having been in the youth setups of Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham and Queens Park Rangers.

The rumor of a possible signing by Barça has not stopped after he turned 16, and Gabriel Sans said: "In my day they would have ripped his head off. They would have asked who he thinks he is."

The footballer, also coveted by FC Barcelona, has requested to leave Manchester United, where he has broken all early‑career records.

At 14 he signed a contract with Nike that surpassed the one Neymar had at that age.

According to specialist journalist Ben Fernandes Santos, the coming days will be decisive to seal the deal.

He would already be training in Madrid, awaiting the resolution of the final details of his signing.

The information comes from journalist Yaca Garcia‑Planas.
