Real Madrid target Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel in battle with Barcelona

Real Madrid are working to sign 15-year-old Manchester United forward JJ Gabriel, who has asked to leave the club and no longer wants to play for the “Red Devils”.

The Spanish club are confident of winning the race for the England youth international, according to The Athletic, and have already begun efforts to complete a deal.

Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich are also interested in Gabriel, with several of Europe’s leading clubs competing for the teenager’s signature.

Manchester United do not want to lose the highly rated youngster and are attempting to find a solution. Gabriel’s current contract with the club expires in the middle of next year.
