The Barcelona transfer market is not negotiating for JJ Gabriel, a 15-year-old forward who has requested to leave Manchester United, as confirmed by Deco in an interview with journalist Ben Jacobs. The Barcelona sporting director assures that the club is not involved in the situation and first needs to know how his future will be resolved.

Barcelona cools off the scenario with JJ Gabriel

Deco's position comes after several days in which JJ Gabriel's name was linked to Barcelona. Sky Sports reported on September 18 about conversations between the Catalan club and Real Madrid for the player who was in Barcelona with his family.

Now, Deco has ruled out any ongoing operation. The executive explained that he does not know all the details of the case and that Barcelona is currently not participating in discussions regarding the attacker's future.

JJ Gabriel's situation started changing on September 15 when he informed Manchester United of his intention to leave the club and requested the cancelation of his registration. United has the player registered, and his contract extends until the end of the season.

The sporting context explains part of the uncertainty. Gabriel had been involved with the first team during the preseason, but his camp considered the opportunities he received since the start of the season insufficient. Sky Sports confirmed his desire to be part of the first team squads and the Champions League.

Deco reshapes the contenders' landscape

Deco's statement diminishes Barcelona's role in an operation that had previously seen the Catalan club among the most frequently mentioned names. Real Madrid, PSG, and Bayern have also been linked to the player, although none of these options currently represent a finalized agreement.

The next key moment will arrive on October 6 when Gabriel turns 16. His contractual situation and FIFA regulations for minors will influence any potential transfer from England to another European country.

The player approaches this milestone after scoring 23 goals in 23 matches in the Premier League U-18 last season, a record that earned him the competition's best player award. He also netted a hat-trick on his debut in the UEFA Youth League on September 10.

Deco's public intervention now prompts a reconsideration of Barcelona's role in JJ Gabriel's future. While Manchester United tries to resolve his exit and other European clubs remain attentive, the next steps will hinge on his contractual status and the legal conditions that will be in play when he turns 16.
