Real Madrid agree verbal deal with Man United's JJ Gabriel
Real Madrid have reached a verbal agreement with Manchester United forward JJ Gabriel and are confident of winning the race for the young star. Full details.
Real Madrid have taken a major step towards signing Manchester United's young forward JJ Gabriel. According to BBC Sport, the Spanish giants have struck a verbal agreement with the player.
Madrid confident of winning the race
Following that understanding, Real Madrid believe they are now in pole position to land the highly rated attacker. The wording of the report suggests other clubs have also been tracking Gabriel, but Los Blancos feel they have moved ahead of the competition.
A verbal agreement, however, is not a completed transfer. Neither Real Madrid nor Manchester United have made any official statement, and key details such as a potential fee, the length of any contract or the timing of the move have not been revealed.
A blow for United's academy
Manchester United have long taken pride in developing their own talent, so losing a promising young striker would be an unwelcome setback for the Premier League club. For Real Madrid, the pursuit fits a familiar pattern of targeting Europe's brightest emerging players early. Whether United attempt to persuade Gabriel to stay remains to be seen.
