„Manchester United“ could struggle to retain one of the most talented footballers in its academy, JJ Gabriel.

The 16-year-old forward has attracted huge interest from European football giants, with Real Madrid and Barcelona considered the leading contenders to sign him.

According to „Sky Sport“, the young talent could change clubs as early as January 2027, although the possibility of his departure taking place only in the summer has not been ruled out.

Bayern Munich and PSG are also closely monitoring Gabriel’s situation. Although representatives of both clubs are in contact with the footballer’s camp, their chances of signing the talented forward are currently considered worse than those of the Spanish giants.

Nevertheless, „Manchester United“ have no intention of easily parting ways with their promising academy graduate. The English club continues to make efforts to convince the young footballer to tie his future to the „Old Trafford“ side and sign a long-term agreement.
