JJ Gabriel, 16 years old, has entered a decisive phase of his future after a meeting at the Bayern Munich transfer market with his representatives. The Manchester United player turned 16 on October 6 and can now sign a professional contract with a European club, while Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, and the German team await his decision.

The Bayern move comes after Gabriel and his family requested Manchester United to cancel his registration. The English club has so far refused and keeps the player linked to its structure, although his future seems to be moving further away from Old Trafford.

JJ Gabriel, facing a bidding war influenced by his salary

According to information published on Wednesday by The Times and Sky Sports reports, JJ Gabriel's camp demands a seven-figure annual salary, along with a financial package that may include a signing bonus. This demand is complicating negotiations with some of the interested clubs.

The Bayern has already spoken with the player's representatives, and Vincent Kompany is in favor of his incorporation. The German proposal involves offering him a development path to the first team, but the club is currently hesitant to meet the salary demands of Gabriel's camp.

The financial aspect has also limited the scope of other German teams. Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen had been monitoring the situation, but the financial demands have cooled their position in the deal.

Barcelona and Real Madrid keep the race open

Barcelona and Real Madrid continue to be among the clubs following JJ Gabriel. Sky Sports confirmed on October 6 that both clubs have a strong interest, although the final decision still lies with the player and his family.

Real Madrid's case is also linked to a potentially significant financial offer. The BBC reported on Wednesday that Madrid and Barça are preparing packages that would include salary, bonuses, and a signing bonus to persuade the player.

Barcelona, in addition, had already been in talks for Gabriel during September, when the player and his family were in the Barcelona area. Since then, Bayern has emerged as another direct competitor.

Manchester United continues to try to retain him despite the formal request to leave. Gabriel had some presence in preseason but was not included in the Champions League A-list and only played eight minutes with the first team over the summer. However, he has scored two goals and two assists in the Premier League 2 for the youth team, along with a hat-trick in the Youth League.

The situation also involves a legal aspect: Sky Sports reported that United may consider legal action if Gabriel ends up moving to another European club. The player remains registered with the English team while his family reviews the offers received.

The next step will be deciding which club accepts the financial conditions of JJ Gabriel's camp and which sporting project ultimately influences the decision. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, and PSG remain in the race, but the seven-figure salary could be the decisive filter in the coming weeks.
