Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel spotted in Barcelona amid transfer links | OneFootball

FC Barcelona brought in some very exciting young talents during the last summer transfer window. The most prominent of these was Hamza Abdelkarim, who has made several significant leaps in his career in the last few months. Similarly, another such youngster signed was Jesse Bisiwu, who mainly plays with the reserve team, but is expected to get regular training and playing time with the first team.

Now, a few days after the end of the transfer window, the Blaugranes are once again being linked with one of the most notable talents in Europe, i.e., the Manchester United youth player JJ Gabriel. The youngster recently asked the Red Devils for a termination of his contract, and since then, has been linked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

However, despite being linked with giants like Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid, Barcelona seem to have an advantage in his pursuit. In fact, Mundo Deportivo cites Diario AS and the English journalist Chris Wheeler to report that the young forward is currently in the city of Barcelona.

Recent reports suggested that Gabriel also follows the Catalan club on his social media, but for now, it remains to be seen where his future lies. Despite having asked Manchester United for a departure, some commentators suggest that it is just a ploy by his agents to get a better contract from the Premier League side. Furthermore, being only 15 years of age, he will have to turn 16 before he can get a European passport.

Recently, he scored a hat-trick in a UEFA Youth League game against Sabah, and other giants interested in him are also expected to try their best to land such a promising forward. However, with their proven track record of developing youth talent and providing them with opportunities to make it to the first team, Barcelona would remain a natural and attractive choice for JJ Gabriel.
