JJ Gabriel, English forward 16 years old, is at the center of the latest news from Manchester United as he wants to leave the Red Devils after his entourage raised several demands to continue at Old Trafford, including an annual salary of seven figures and guaranteed minutes with the first team. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are following the player, who could change clubs in January 2027.

The conflict began in September when Gabriel requested to cancel his registration with the English team. Since then, the player has stopped training at United's facilities and is maintaining individual preparation in Barcelona while considering any offers that may come his way.

JJ Gabriel and the five demands that surprised Manchester United

According to reports from ESPN, The Times, and Manchester Evening News, the representatives of JJ Gabriel presented various conditions related to his sports participation, image, and future contract.

The first request was to wear the number 77 when playing with the first team. They also asked for his shirt to bear the name Gabriel JR, a matter for which the club consulted the requirements of the Premier League.

Differences escalated when the coaching staff decided that the forward should train with the under-21 team. His entourage rejected this and demanded that he work exclusively with Michael Carrick and the first-team squad.

The third sporting demand directly affected his playing time. His representatives asked that he play at least 20 minutes in each of three matches: against Sabah in the Champions League, Brighton in the League Cup, and Bournemouth in the Premier League.

The United did not agree to guarantee that playing time. Gabriel was left out of the main squad for the Champions League and was not called up to face Brighton, a game in which he had initially been considered for his debut.

The last known condition was related to his remuneration. According to The Times, his representatives demanded a contract with a salary of at least one million euros annually, a figure that also affects the interest of other European clubs.

FC Barcelona and Real Madrid consider the signing of JJ Gabriel

The conflict is particularly striking because JJ Gabriel has not yet played an official match with the Manchester United first team. However, his performance in the youth categories explains the attention he is receiving. Barcelona already knows the price of JJ Gabriel.

The forward scored 23 goals in the under-18 Premier League last season and started the new season with a hat-trick against Sabah in the Youth League. He also took part in the preseason with Carrick.

Real Madrid is among his possible destinations, while FC Barcelona has also been linked to the player. Bayern Munich and PSG complete the list of main interested parties, although there is no finalized agreement.

The English club has tried to keep him with a training contract offer. Additionally, they are keeping his registration and have not accepted the termination requested by his representatives.

United will receive minimal payment for him

If he ends up moving abroad, United could receive approximately 400,000 euros for training rights, a significantly lower amount than what they could claim for an exit to another English club.

The next step will come when his contractual situation is defined and the interested clubs finalize their proposals. JJ Gabriel aims to resolve his future by January, although the salary and sports conditions requested by his entourage could hinder any agreement.
