JJ Gabriel: Real Madrid decide on ‘accepting terms’ to sign Man Utd prodigy – ‘announcement’ imminent
Real Madrid have reportedly indicated that they have ‘accepted the terms’ to sign Manchester United sensation JJ Gabriel.
16-year-old Gabriel is considered one of the best young forwards in the world, so he is a huge asset for Man Utd.
Therefore, it was a huge blow for the Red Devils when it recently emerged that he wants to leave to continue his development elsewhere.
It has been said that his relationship with the club has broken down due to the lack of first-team opportunities, while he and his representatives also have concerns about United’s general decline over the past few years.
Another factor is that JJ Gabriel has been attracting interest from some of Europe’s top clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
Man Utd have still been trying to get Gabriel to change his mind about leaving, but respected reporter Fabrizio Romano confirmed this week that he is still set to move elsewhere.

Now, a new report from Spanish outlet Sport claims Real Madrid and Barcelona are the ‘clear frontrunners’ to sign Gabriel ahead of Bayern Munich and PSG.
