Real Madrid and PSG compete for Manchester United teen JJ Gabriel

Sixteen-year-old JJ Gabriel is seeking to leave Manchester United, where he has been developing as a young player.

He has not made his senior debut, but scored three goals in his only appearance in the UEFA Youth League, according to one report.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are reported to be the main contenders for his signature.

Reports disagree about Barcelona: one says it has dropped out of the race, while another says Gabriel likes its youth-focused football but the club will not overspend.

The competition includes both sporting plans and financial offers, and the sources say the final decision has not been made.

Manchester United has not given up trying to change his mind, while one report says he could sign for another club from January 1, 2027.

His next move could shape his route into professional football, but no destination has been confirmed.
