Real Madrid, Barcelona monitoring Manchester United academy prodigy
Real Madrid are always on the lookout of young talents with potential to develop into future superstars. The fact that academy prospects are now getting first-team opportunities makes the club an even more attractive destination for youth prospects.
The Merengues are working on strengthening the youth ranks with already several new signings being finalised.
Now, according to The Telegraph in England, Real Madrid are among many admirers of Manchester United teenage wonderkid JJ Gabriel.
Just 15 years old, Gabriel is making waves with his exploits for the Red Devils’ Under-18 side. So far this season, he has 22 goals in 25 games across the U18 Premier League and the FA Youth Cup, making everyone sit up and take notice.
Real Madrid, along with Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are understood to be closely monitoring the English prodigy’s progress with Manchester United.
The Red Devils had already fought off efforts from Manchester City to lure Gabriel away from the club last year and are now working to secure his long-term future at the club.
Comfortable playing as a centre-forward or on the left flank, Gabriel also possesses an Irish passport, making him eligible to play in EU countries without any issues from the age of 16, making him an even more enticing target.
It will be interesting to see whether Real Madrid or any of the clubs make any move for Gabriel in the summer or if Manchester United are able to convince their teenage wonderkid to remain at the club for a long time.
