Real Madrid working on deal for exit-bound Manchester United talent also wanted by Barcelona and Bayern Munich Real Madrid are moving in the race for Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel, with the Spanish giants now working on a deal for the 15-year-old after he decided to leave Old Trafford. The latest development comes from Guillermo Rai , who reports that Los Blancos are actively working on a move rather than just monitoring the teenager’s situation, putting them in a strong position to compete for one of the most highly regarded young players in English youth football. Real Madrid looking to move before rivals Gabriel’s decision to leave Manchester United has opened the door to a battle involving several of Europe’s biggest clubs. Real Madrid are pushing forward , while Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also understood to be watching the situation closely.  Real Madrid’s interest is therefore not happening in isolation, and the club appears keen to move before the competition develops further.

However, he ultimately stayed at Old Trafford after being given assurances about his pathway into the club’s system. That arrangement has now changed, leaving United facing the possibility of losing a player they once considered one of the brightest talents in their academy.

His close control and finishing have been highlighted as standout qualities, while his performances have already led to predictions that he could develop into a world-class player. For Real Madrid, that potential is enough to justify acting early. The club has recently built a reputation for identifying elite young talent before their value and reputation explode, and Gabriel fits the profile of an investment that could pay off over the long term.
