Real Madrid have already completed most of their groundwork for JJ Gabriel transfer
Although the club’s emphasis was more on bringing some experienced players who can provide an immediate impact for the team, Real Madrid also brought in some exciting young talents during the last summer transfer window.
Although the club’s emphasis was more on bringing some experienced players who can provide an immediate impact for the team, Real Madrid also brought in some exciting young talents during the last summer transfer window. Yan Diomande was the most obvious of these newly signed youngsters, while Carlos Espi and Sergio Martinez also joined the Merengue club.
Now, only a few weeks after the end of the transfer window, Los Blancos are being linked with one of the most exciting talents in Europe, the Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel, who has already asked his club for a transfer and is attracting the attention of several other top European sides as well.
These sides include giants like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, but recent reports on this matter reveal that Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently the front-runners for the young forward’s signature. In fact, Gabriel was spotted at the Catalan club’s training facilities a few days ago, but English outlets claim that it is the Merengue club which is the favorite to land him.
In this regard, Diario AS reveals that Los Blancos have already done most of their homework for the Englishman’s signing, even though they have had to work their way around several barriers.
Despite having been approached by the player’s entourage weeks ago, Real Madrid waited for the player to reach 16 years of age. They will have to consider several other FIFA regulations to transfer the player, but his Cypriot passport and his family’s Irish roots can allow them to work on a solution.
Meanwhile, the Merengues have also remained in communication with Manchester United, showcasing their desire to sign the player. On the other hand, negotiations with the player are also on-going, but in this regard, Los Blancos have set a strict limit, and the forward is currently considering their offer.
Reports from English media claim that the youngster is asking for terms that are significantly higher than what other players in his bracket are getting, and also wants a €1 million signing bonus.
For now, Real Madrid have not got a final response from JJ Gabriel, but have done most of their work to ensure they get their desired target despite the interest from several other top European clubs.
