Summary
Real Madrid have moved ahead in the chase for 15-year-old Manchester United prospect JJ Gabriel after the attacker submitted a transfer request earlier this week.
Spain is Gabriel’s preferred destination, leaving Real Madrid and Barcelona as the main contenders, with Madrid’s proposed development pathway currently more attractive to the player.
No final decision has been made, and Gabriel’s family will have the last word on the move despite Madrid’s current advantage.
Barcelona have tracked Gabriel for some time and now face pressure to respond, hoping their recent record of promoting and signing elite young talent can still sway the race.
