Real Madrid in pole position to sign Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel

Real Madrid in pole position to sign Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel Real Madrid are one of several clubs monitoring the situation of Manchester United sensation JJ Gabriel, who has reportedly asked to rip up his contract with the Premier League giants . The 15-year-old is considered to be one of the best players in the world in his age group, so it is not a surprise that Los Blancos officials are primed to make a move. Gabriel’s explosive situation has alerted many of the top clubs across Europe, and Real Madrid are right in the mix. In fact, they are considered to be leading the race to sign the teenager, as reported by ESPN’s Rodra . Real Madrid have Castilla plan in place for Gabriel The likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Arsenal are also competing for Gabriel, but it is Real Madrid that are best-placed to sign him. It is unclear whether talks have already been held with his representatives, although club officials have already drawn up a plan for his potential arrival – he would immediately join up with Castilla, despite only being 15 years of age. Man United remain confident of convincing Gabriel to stay, although he and his entourage are pushing for an exit as soon as possible. It’s worth noting that he can sign a training contract with another club when he turns 16 on the 6th of October, which could be the magic date for Real Madrid in pursuit of his signature. Crucially, Gabriel holds an Irish passport, meaning that he would not take up a non-EU spot if he were to join up with the Real Madrid senior squad. If he does arrive at Valdebebas in the coming weeks/months, he would be welcomed by fellow Englishman Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham, and this is another reason why a move to the Spanish capital would be very tempting for the teenager.
