JJ Gabriel arrives in Barcelona for talks

JJ Gabriel’s future at Manchester United could not any more uncertain than it is currently.

Gabriel sent shockwaves through Manchester United circles earlier this week as reports exposed his desire to leave the club.

European clubs quickly circled with Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich emerging as three of the top clubs that were interested in the 15-year-old’s services.

Further reports stated that he could leave United when he turns 16, whilst alternative reports revealed that clashes between the parties could leave to both appearing before a Professional Football Compensation Committee tribunal.

The latest update has now been uncovered, providing Manchester United supporters with more intel into the 15-year-old’s future.

JJ Gabriel has arrived in Barcelona for talks, amid ongoing speculation about his future at Manchester United, according to Spanish outlet AS.

The publication have also stated that his time at Old Trafford is over whilst also confirming that Barcelona, PSG, and Real Madrid are amongst the heavyweight European sides interested in the 15-year-old.

It remains unclear how talks will progress between JJ Gabriel, his representatives, and Barcelona, whilst also remaining unclear whether the LaLiga champions are leading the race to sign him currently.

United appear to have failed in their pursuit to convince Gabriel to stay at the club with his heart now in a different place, one that is away from Old Trafford.

For Manchester United, large questions about how this was allowed to happen and about how they can prevent this from happening in the future will likely be raised in the coming days and weeks.

For those battling it out for JJ Gabriel, there is still large amounts of work to be done. That work will likely be worth it in the end for the winning club in this battle.
