Manchester United face the prospect of losing highly rated academy prospect JJ Gabriel to Real Madrid, with Fabrizio Romano providing a major update on the teenager’s future ahead of the January transfer window.
The 16-year-old has attracted considerable attention from several European heavyweights, but the Spanish giants are now close to an agreement to secure his services. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid are on the verge of a verbal agreement with Gabriel, with the youngster’s representatives telling interested clubs he has chosen the Spanish outfit as his preferred destination.
Romano has indicated that an early ‘Here We Go’ announcement could come in 2027, although the transfer formalities are yet to be completed. “Get ready, because one of the first ‘here we go’ for 2027 is coming, and it’s gonna be JJ Gabriel to Real Madrid,” he said.
