Real Madrid plan fast-track first-team pathway for Manchester United teenage prodigy

Real Madrid is finalizing a deal to sign 16-year-old JJ Gabriel from Manchester United this January, despite interest from several other major European clubs. The Spanish side intends to move the teenager quickly through their reserve and youth ranks with the goal of reaching the senior squad under Jose Mourinho.

Manchester United is considering legal action regarding the departure, as the player has been absent from training since September. The English club may only receive approximately 300,000 pounds in training compensation if the transfer receives FIFA approval.
