From the source
Barcelona have not completely abandoned their pursuit of Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel despite Real Madrid moving closer to securing his signature. According to SPORT, the 16-year-old forward’s future remains undecided because no contract has been signed with Los Blancos yet, leaving Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain hoping to change the situation.
Real Madrid have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Gabriel over a potential move, with the Spanish giants targeting January to bring him to the club.
However, the absence of a signed contract means the other interested clubs have not entirely given up. Indeed, Real Madrid have made the most progress, although no club-to-club contact with Manchester United has taken place.
