The Italian reporter further states that there could be significant developments in the Gabriel transfer case in the coming days or weeks.

That figure will not be a major issue for any of the interested parties, including Real Madrid. However, what could pose a challenge is Gabriel’s demand for a seven-figure salary . Indeed, the teenage Englishman is understood to be seeking annual wages of at least £1 million, despite having recently turned 16 years old – a demand that could emerge as a hurdle. For now, Real Madrid remain very much in the fray and are involved in active conversations with Gabriel and his camp, with a final decision expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
