Chelsea told JJ Gabriel’s transfer decision as wonderkid prepares for Man Utd exit

Manchester United teenager JJ Gabriel is reportedly planning to move abroad after deciding to leave the club, dealing a blow to Chelsea's pursuit. The 16-year-old attacker announced his intention to depart Old Trafford prior to making a senior debut, sparking interest across Europe. According to talkSPORT, Chelsea have been informed that Gabriel prefers a move overseas, with Real Madrid and Barcelona viewed as his most likely destinations.

The Pride of London's Leah Jones questions the player's professionalism after he reportedly downed tools just before a cup match against Brighton. Gabriel, who holds an Irish passport, will be available to complete a permanent exit at the end of the month, with Manchester United entitled to approximately £300,000 in compensation.
