Manchester United wantaway prospect JJ Gabriel is expected to announce his next club imminently, according to Diario Sport. The 16-year-old is currently training alone outside Barcelona while his agent, Ali Barat, evaluates offers.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are the frontrunners for Gabriel's signature. Madrid have tabled terms including a €10 million fee, a three-year deal and performance bonuses. Barcelona's proposal carries greater uncertainty regarding conditions.
Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are also monitoring the teenager's situation.
In other transfer news, Brentford winger Kevin Schade has drawn interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, per TEAMtalk. The 24-year-old carries a January valuation exceeding £60 million, with Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United also linked. Schade's contract runs until 2028, and Brentford have initiated extension discussions without urgency to sell.
Barcelona attacking midfielder Dani Olmo remains on Bayern Munich's radar, Diario Sport reports, though no formal bid is anticipated soon and a Barcelona departure would demand a substantial offer.
