Real Madrid shifted their transfer policy a bit during the last summer transfer window. In recent years, the club had looked mainly to recruit young talent with room for further growth. However, this summer, the Merengues brought in several experienced players who can make an immediate impact for the team.
However, Los Blancos have still not left sight of young talent acquisition. This was clear from their most expensive signing of the last transfer window, i.e., the 19-year-old forward Yan Diomande. Now, a few weeks after the end of the market, Real Madrid are once again being linked with one of the most promising young talents in Europe, the 16-year-old forward JJ Gabriel.
In fact, MARCA cites the journalist Ben Fernandes Santos to claim that the Englishman is quite close to signing for the Merengue side and is already training at the Spanish capital as he awaits the finalization of his transfer.
A few weeks ago, Gabriel asked Manchester United to let him leave as he wanted to continue his growth and development at another top club. Several European giants were interested in him, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain.
However, the youngster clearly preferred a move to Spain, leaving the El Clasico rivals in pole position for his signing. In recent days, reports have emerged of the Blaugranes giving up on his signing and the player is now convinced that he will carve out his career at the Merengue club now .
JJ Gabriel is clearly one of the very best talents in Europe and has already broken several youth records. His increasing popularity is also clear from the fact that at 14 years of age, he had already got a better sponsorship contract from Nike than what Neymar had got at that age. Hopefully, Real Madrid will successfully complete this transfer, and the English forward will continue to grow and amaze with Los Blancos going forward.
