Manchester United are facing an increasingly serious battle to keep JJ Gabriel, with Paris Saint-Germain now pushing strongly to sign the highly rated 16-year-old. Gabriel’s future has become one of the biggest academy stories in Europe after he decided he wanted to leave Old Trafford in search of a clearer pathway to senior football.
Real Madrid remain among the frontrunners, while PSG have now stepped up their own efforts ahead of the January transfer window. According to Diario AS, PSG have entered the race for Gabriel and are now competing directly with Real Madrid for his signature.
More recent reporting suggests those two clubs have moved ahead of Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Football365 reports that Real Madrid and PSG are both working towards agreements before January, when Gabriel is expected to become eligible to complete his move.
