JJ Gabriel inches closer to new club! Who will sign the young talent?
Real Madrid are in advanced talks to sign 16-year-old Manchester United forward JJ Gabriel.
Details: According to leading Spanish outlet MARCA, the Royal Club have beaten out stiff competition from a number of Europe's top sides, including PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Barcelona.
All required paperwork is expected to be finalized soon, followed by an official announcement of the transfer, which is set to take place during the winter window. Star Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham played a key role during negotiations, having personally spoken with his fellow countryman to convince him that Madrid's project was the right choice.
Having made a name for himself at the youth level in England, the footballer is viewed by the Madrid club as a promising long-term investment. Initially, the young striker will be integrated into the squad of the reserve team, Real Madrid Castilla, where he can adapt to Spanish football under the guidance of the youth setup's coaching staff.
