Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel has reportedly verbally agreed a deal in principle to sign for Real Madrid. Gabriel has been linked with a host of top clubs, including Barcelona, after informing Manchester United he wants to leave and is now being tipped to head for the Bernabeu.
Reporter Florian Plettenberg says Gabriel now has an agreement in place and the current hope is that he can move in January. Barcelona sporting director Deco has previously played down speculation that his club were keen on Gabriel, although that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill continuing to link the Catalans with the teenager.
Gabriel prefers the sporting project on offer at Barcelona but the “main obstacle has been economic.” Barca aren’t willing to match his lofty salary demands, something Real Madrid are seemingly willing to do.
