Real Madrid reaches agreement with Manchester United gem

16-year-old talent Gigi Gabriel has reached a preliminary verbal agreement with Real Madrid regarding a move to the Spanish club, in a step that brings him closer to leaving Manchester United.

According to "Sky Sport Germany", Real Madrid are leading the race to sign the young player, as the parties involved are currently working to push negotiations towards completing the deal, with no contracts signed yet.

FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are still monitoring the situation, awaiting any developments in the negotiations, while Bayern Munich continues its communications. However, it has become a competitor from outside the circle of the main candidates, as Real Madrid advances with the financial offer on the table.

According to the source, the plan indicates the player's departure from Manchester United in January, with the official transfer taking place in 2027, and the player obtaining a passport from the European Union.

JJ Gabriel plays as an attacking midfielder, but he can also play as a striker and left winger. He played for Manchester United's under-18 team, making 32 appearances, scoring 29 goals and providing 4 assists.
