Real Madrid are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Manchester United youth prospect JJ Gabriel, though the Premier League club has yet to receive any formal contact from the Spanish giants or the player's representatives.
The 18-year-old forward, who featured in Manchester United's FA U-18 Youth Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, is said to be edging toward a move to the Santiago Bernabéu. A file photo from that match shows Gabriel celebrating a goal for the Red Devils' youth side.
According to reports, Manchester United have not been approached by Real Madrid regarding the potential transfer, nor have they heard from Gabriel's family about the player's intentions. The situation remains fluid as the Spanish club appears to be advancing in their pursuit of the highly-rated academy product.
