15-year-old JJ Gabriel, a product of the English football club "Manchester United", has become a transfer target for "Barcelona". The young English striker has been the most notable talent in the club's academy this season, scoring 10 goals in 10 games in the U-18 league.
Idman.Biz reports that the "Barcelona" management is taking serious steps to attract Gabriel to the famous La Masia academy. The footballer came to the fore with a hat-trick in the U-18 match against Liverpool last week.
The management of "Manchester United", on the other hand, is working to the maximum to keep the young striker in the club. According to reports, sports director Jason Wilcox has been a key figure in keeping Gabriel at the team for both this season and next season. It is reported from within the club that Wilcox's direct intervention in the project has clearly shown Gabriel's family how much "United" values him.
Last week, for the first time, the club officially published a photo of JJ Gabriel training with the main team. Head coach Ruben Amorim held a separate meeting with the teenage footballer and his family. Gabriel had confirmed on his "Instagram" page last month that he was training with the main team.
Currently, "United" sees the young striker as a central figure in future plans and hopes that he will stay at the club despite the interest of the Catalans.
