Real Madrid confident of signing Manchester United prodigy after submitting official offer

Real Madrid are optimistic about securing Manchester United's young star, JJ Gabriel, but they must await his decision. According to AS, Real Madrid has submitted an offer to the 16-year-old and informed Manchester United of their interest. The transfer scenario also involves Barcelona and Bayern Munich, with all three clubs showing interest in the highly regarded prodigy.

Although Gabriel initially trained in Catalonia, recent reports indicate he is inclined towards a move to Real Madrid. The Spanish club began exploring the possibility weeks ago, scrutinizing the legal requirements for Gabriel's move from England to Spain. With Gabriel turning 16 in early October, his Cypriot passport and Irish family background have been factored into the club's examination of international transfer regulations for minors.

Real Madrid has informed Manchester United of their intention to negotiate a transfer fee, keeping the English club apprised of their interest. The Spanish side has now presented their offer to Gabriel and his representatives. Both Real Madrid and Manchester United are cautious, as United seeks to retain Gabriel and would likely oppose a move to another Premier League club.

Bayern Munich has also shown strong interest, though there's no confirmation that Gabriel is leaning towards a move to Germany. Real Madrid remains confident, awaiting Gabriel's response, while Barcelona continues to hold interest. Gabriel is reportedly demanding a salary of €1 million, which could significantly impact the negotiations and Real Madrid's financial limitations.

The club views Gabriel as a promising player for the future, but must weigh his potential against their budget constraints. Until Gabriel makes his final decision, a transfer to Santiago Bernabeu remains uncertain.
