The report outlines that Los Blancos are willing to make a huge investment of over €10 million in a three-year package to bring the teenager to the Spanish capital. However, the deal is not yet completed. An exit arrangement with Manchester United still needs to be reached. Real Madrid could secure another exceptional talent Gabriel has been widely regarded as the single biggest English talent coming through the ranks in the Premier League. The England youth international impressed for Manchester United’s academy, scoring 20 goals in 21 U-18 Premier League games last season. He also netted a hat-trick on his UEFA Youth League debut in September. Even though he has just turned 16, he already plays like a much older player. Real Madrid could overcome significant competition to secure Gabriel’s signature .

His dribbling, creativity and goalscoring instincts suggest he can be moulded into a fearsome attacker in the future. Although the financial commitment is significant considering the player’s age, Real Madrid will be paying for potential. If JJ Gabriel develops into the player everyone thinks he will, the amount Los Blancos spend now will look like a bargain. It remains to be seen what steps remain before the Manchester United wonderkid becomes a Real Madrid player and how the negotiations play out.
