Real Madrid have reached a verbal agreement with 16-year-old JJ Gabriel over a potential move to the Santiago Bernabeu. Gabriel is registered with Manchester United's academy until the end of the season but Real Madrid intend to sign him in January.

There is a FIFA loophole that allows European clubs to tie down young players to professional contracts if they have a European passport which Gabriel qualifies for through both parents.

Sky Sports News understands there has been no club-to-club contact over the teenager as of yet. Sky Sports News reported in October United will consider legal action if a potential move does materialise for the youngster but it is also understood not to be a concern for Gabriel's camp.
