Paris Saint-Germain make move to sign JJ Gabriel

The recent news that 15-year-old prospect JJ Gabriel had asked to leave Manchester United made major headlines across the world.

Despite the future star’s age, his request to exit the club stunned many, leading to serious questions about whether he was being guided correctly by older representatives.

A media frenzy followed, a first of its kind for a player so young. The only questions now are where JJ Gabriel heads, and whether Manchester United will be able to take a fee from the move.

One club that has registered interest in acquiring the tricky forward is UEFA Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain. The French side would see their youth ranks hugely boosted by adding Gabriel to their setup.

According to French publication Foot Mercato on X, PSG is now making moves to recruit the Manchester United “phenomenon”.

The outlet reports that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are notably part of the competition, while Barcelona have publicly denied any interest.

A move to the French and European Champions would be an interesting one for JJ Gabriel, who will want assurances over first-team football in the near future if he is to sign for a new club.

While Real Madrid may be unlikely to be able to offer this, PSG could offer valuable Ligue 1 minutes for the young attacker.

The important detail for Manchester United will be in recouping a decent compensation fee if they end up having to part ways with the player who was seen as a potential star for the senior team.

With the 15-year-old clearly keen on leaving, a move ideally needs to be completed swiftly.
