JJ Gabriel is continuing his preparations in Castelldefels, near Barcelona, as the 16-year-old considers where to continue his career after seeking a departure from Manchester United.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, the young forward is training each morning at facilities reserved for his use. A team of seven or eight staff members is reportedly overseeing his physical preparation, nutrition and recovery while he weighs up his options.
Gabriel’s next destination remains unresolved, with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain among the clubs monitoring his situation. His representatives are understood to be considering the available opportunities before making a decision.
Castelldefels is familiar territory for Gabriel, who has visited the area every summer since he was eight. He has also visited Barcelona’s stadium several times and has been photographed with the club’s young star Lamine Yamal.
Those connections have added to speculation over a possible move to the Catalan club. However, the report says there has been no formal offer from Barcelona, while contact between the club and Gabriel’s representative has so far remained limited.
Despite that uncertainty, Gabriel’s training arrangements suggest he is preparing carefully for the next stage of his development. The reported support team is overseeing several aspects of his routine as he considers a decision that could shape his early professional career.
Barcelona are not alone in the pursuit. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also reported to be interested, leaving the teenager with several potential destinations to consider. The competition for his signature is expected to remain intense while he and his family assess the next step.
The situation follows Gabriel’s decision to seek an exit from Manchester United. Sky Sports has also reported that the player and his family had yet to make a final decision on his future, with several major European clubs tracking developments.
No agreement has been confirmed, and the reported interest should not be taken as an indication that Gabriel has chosen Barcelona or any other club. A decision is expected in the coming days, according to the Spanish reporting, but his immediate priority remains maintaining his preparation while his future is settled.
