Manchester United have blocked the immediate departure of 16-year-old prospect JJ Gabriel, complicating Barcelona’s efforts to sign one of European football’s most sought-after young attackers.
Indeed, as per reports relayed by SPORT, the Blaugrana are now starting to lose ground in the race for the 16-year-old English prodigy. Meanwhile, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring the situation, with the transfer potentially costing between €10 million and €15 million and a resolution possibly delayed until the January transfer window.
According to the report, Manchester United are refusing to release Gabriel despite the youngster’s reported desire to move elsewhere. The Premier League giants have retained his registration, preventing him from severing ties with the English side immediately.
