Barcelona take lead in race to sign JJ Gabriel as training ground visit revealed
The teenager was at the club at the end of last season.
Barcelona is reportedly in a prime position to sign 15-year-old football prodigy JJ Gabriel, as revealed by a visit to the club. The teenager's recent decision to seek an exit from Manchester United just weeks before his 16th birthday has sent ripples across the football world. The Telegraph reports that Gabriel was granted a tour of Barcelona's training ground and met with key figures such as Wojciech Szczesny and club legend Sergio Busquets during his visit in the summer.
While other Premier League clubs, including Real Madrid, have shown interest in the young talent, sources close to rival clubs believe Barcelona has gained a significant advantage in the race for Gabriel. As a holder of an EU passport, Gabriel is in a position to move abroad, though Manchester United is reportedly still attempting to retain his services.
