Barcelona Chief Deco on JJ Gabriel Transfer
Deco said Barcelona are not pursuing the 15-year-old, who has drawn interest from several elite clubs and is expected to decide his future within days.
- Manchester United academy standout JJ Gabriel requested his registration be cancelled as he approaches his 16th birthday on October 6, sparking a recruitment battle among elite European clubs. The 15-year-old remains registered with United until the end of the season.
- United officials remain unclear why Gabriel, who joined the club at 11, seeks a departure. His family reportedly believes his development would be better served elsewhere, prompting the youngster to request his release.
- Barcelona sporting director Deco denied interest in Gabriel on Thursday, claiming the Spanish club is 'not interested in any player in his situation.' If United terminates the deal, they could receive roughly £300,000 in compensation.
- United head coach Michael Carrick urged for the situation to be handled with care, telling reporters, 'I just think we've got to be very careful of that.' The club prioritizes Gabriel's welfare amid the transfer speculation.
- Gabriel turns 16 on October 6, when he becomes eligible to be legally represented by an agent. He is expected to join the agency Epic as his camp prepares to finalize his future decision.
