JJ Gabriel makes final decision on next club as Man Utd starlet set to quit Premier League
Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel has reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid after deciding to leave the Premier League club, it has been reported.
In September, Gabriel submitted a formal request to leave United with immediate effect prior to turning 16, with his entourage said to have been unhappy with his lack of opportunities at senior level under Michael Carrick.
Spanish outlet SPORT reported last week that the transfer saga was 'nearing its end', with Gabriel said to have rejected an offer from Paris Saint-Germain. He has now made his final decision.
Now, The Times claim that Gabriel has continued to train alone in Barcelona since he made his decision to quit United – but it is not Camp Nou that will be his next destination.
It is instead Real Madrid that have fended off competition from Bayern Munich, PSG and Barcelona to sign him and have agreed terms with the 16-year-old and his entourage.
He has not played for United at any level since his formal request to leave the club, with United having offered him a scholarship in order to avoid losing him for free in January 2027.
