According to reports in England, as relayed by SPORT, Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel could decide his future before the end of this month as Real Madrid and FC Barcelona remain interested.
Despite attempts by the Premier League giants to convince the youngster and his family to continue at the club, his determination to leave remains firm.
The 16-year-old wonderkid has not trained with any of their teams since September. Instead, he has been working by himself in Spain, awaiting resolution over his future.
Now, as per the report, Gabriel will take a final call on which his next club will be before the end of October, with Real Madrid, Barça, and Bayern Munich all waiting to pounce.
As per the report, Los Blancos are understood to have already made their first move and are prepared to make a significant financial effort to secure the teenager's services.

Gilberto Mora may have fuelled transfer speculation over a prospective move to Liverpool with his reaction to one supporter over the weekend.
Earlier this month, one Latin American reporter claimed that the Reds have already made an offer for the Mexican wonderkid, understood to be in the region of £38m.
The playmaker – who turned 18 last week – was a breakthrough star at the World Cup over the summer and has already made 75 senior appearances between club (Tijuana) and country.
Mora is currently sidelined with injury but was seen making his way back to the dressing room along with his teammates after their 0-0 draw against Puebla on Saturday.
When one spectator brandishing an LFC shirt excitedly shouted 'Liverpool' at the teenage playmaker, he replied with a thumbs-up gesture, sending the supporter into hysterics.

A new Liverpool wonderkid very much looks like a Steven Gerrard clone and he's on his way to the first-team soon.
Liverpool's former No.8 was everything supporters could have wanted from a captain.
Steven Gerrard was not simply one of the greatest midfielders in the club's history. He came to represent everything Liverpool stood for. Passion, commitment, leadership and extraordinary ability were all wrapped into one player.
What made Gerrard truly special, though, was his ability to take control when Liverpool needed him most.
A crunching tackle, a surging run through midfield, a defence-splitting pass or a moment of individual brilliance in front of goal — he always seemed capable of producing something when the situation demanded it.

JJ Gabriel captivated viewers with an astonishing goal on his official Manchester United U21 debut.
Unlike the senior side that suffered a shocking 0-2 defeat in Hull on the opening day of the season, the young Red Devils started their Premier League 2 campaign on an enchanting note, pummelling Ipswich Town U21 by five unanswered goals at the Progress United Stadium.
The 15-year-old wonderkid has been promoted to the U21 side following a majestic campaign with Man Utd 18.
Gabriel, who has been handed the number 77 in Man Utd's official senior squad, already featured in a friendly test for Michael Carrick's first team, coming in as a substitute against Atletico Madrid.
While any observers are backing him to make his competitive senior debut at some point during the season, the teenager will predominantly feature for Adam Lawrence's U21 side.

As expected, FC Barcelona teenage wonderkid Ebrima Tunkara is set for an extended period out on the sidelines after suffering an injury.
The 16-year-old La Masia prodigy suffered a serious knock on his ankle during Barça Atletic's friendly match against CF Vilanova this past Sunday.
Now, the club have confirmed that the teenage wonderkid, who did almost the entire pre-season with the senior team, will be out for six weeks with injury.
"Barça Atlètic player Ebrima Tunkara has a traumatic ligament injury to his left ankle, which occurred during the match against CF Vilanova this Sunday. The approximate time out is six weeks," the club statement read.
This comes as a blow for Ebrima Tunkara, who had emerged as one of the most standout prospects during pre-season with the senior team.

Liverpool are in talks with a special wonderkid over a new deal as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.
Time is running out. Both in terms of the window as we enter the final few days and also for Richard Hughes at Liverpool.
He is expected to join Al Hilal at the end of the summer and if that happens, the remaining days of the window will determine how Hughes is remembered at Anfield.
There is certainly no shortage of issues to resolve.
Liverpool are undergoing a significant period of transition. Andoni Iraola has replaced Arne Slot, new players have arrived and changes are also taking place at ownership level with new minority shareholders coming into the club. Collectively, it represents a substantial shift in direction.

'Great find for India': Brett Lee hails India wonderkid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as Australia legend is in awe of youngster's talent originally appeared on Cricket News. Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Brett Lee has hailed India teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as a "great find" for the country.
The Australia legend was in awe of the 15-year-old's talent and fearless strokeplay.
Lee said he would relish the challenge of bowling to Sooryavanshi in his prime.
Australia great Brett Lee has become the latest cricketing figure to fall under the spell of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, describing the India teenager as a remarkable talent and a "great find" for the country. The former fast bowler joined a growing chorus of legends left astonished by the 15-year-old.

India wonderkid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored a maiden Twenty20 international half-century in a seven-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in Harare.
Put in to bat after losing the toss on Thursday in the first of three matches, Zimbabwe made a meagre 125-7 in 20 overs with all-rounder Wessly Madhevere (39) top-scoring.
Led by 15-year-old prodigy Sooryavanshi, who struck four sixes and four fours in an 18-ball 50, India cruised to 126-3 with 40 ******* to spare.
Sooryavanshi became the youngest cricketer to represent India by debuting in a 4-0 T20I drubbing by England this month. He scored 42 runs in three innings.
After his whirlwind 50 in Harare, Sooryavanshi was out when he got a thick outside edge to a Richard Ngarava delivery and was caught at deep third man by Ben Curran.

Borussia Dortmund has fended off competition and won the race to sign one of Europe's highly rated talent Liam Claude Kanté.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the central defender will join the Black and Yellows and his contract has already been signed.
Kanté is transferring from Croatian club NK Lokomotiva Zagreb to Strobelallee, but won't be fast tracked into Niko Kovač's squad.
In Dortmund, Kanté is initially destined to link up with the U-19 team, and then gradually integrated into the first team.
In the race for the Croatian U-16 international, who is already being described as a wonderkid, BVB prevailed against numerous rivals.

The emotional scenes following Spain's victory over Portugal at the FIFA World Cup 2026 produced one of the most memorable images of the tournament, as Lamine Yamal Cristiano Ronaldo footage quickly spread across social media.
Spain secured a dramatic 1-0 victory thanks to Mikel Merino's stoppage-time winner, booking their place in the quarter-finals and bringing Portugal's World Cup journey to an end.
However, while celebrations erupted among Spain's players, Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal took a moment to acknowledge one of football's greatest figures.
The Barcelona wonderkid walked towards an emotional Cristiano Ronaldo and embraced the Portuguese icon in a touching gesture that captured the attention of supporters around the world.
The clash between Spain and Portugal had already been framed as a meeting between two generations.

Of the 13 Manchester United players called up by their national teams for the World Cup, only a few have managed to shine brightly.
One of them being Amad, who scored twice in the two games he came on as a substitute. However, his heroics went in vain as Ivory Coast were knocked out by Norway.
The 23-year-old's impressive performances have seen numerous teams eyeing a move, especially amid rumours of an impending exit after a difficult start to life under new United head coach Michael Carrick.
The former Atalanta wonderkid was an ever-present name in the starting XI under former head coach Ruben Amorim, who mainly utilised him as a wing-back.
But he struggled for regular minutes under Carrick since being asked to play further forward, managing only a single ******* ist under the former United midfielder.

Mexico have a superstar on their hands with 17-year-old midfielder Gilberto Mora, who started against England in the World Cup round of 16.
Earlier this week, Mora became the second youngest player to start a knockout game at the World Cup since 1958, when a young Pele scored in each of Brazil’s three knockout games.
He did pip Pele in a different category, though. Winning the Gold Cup with Mexico last summer at just 16 made him the youngest player ever to win a trophy with the national team.
Mora’s story is just beginning, but here’s what we know so far about the wonderkid midfielder.
Mora plays with Club Tijuana in Liga MX. He made 54 appearances this past season, scoring ten goals and laying on two ****** ists. Pretty impressive for a teenager.

Gilberto Mora’s impressive rise on the international stage continues to attract attention, and the Mexican teenager has now been linked with one of the biggest ambitions imaginable for any young footballer – playing for Real Madrid.
According to MARCA, the Gilberto Mora Real Madrid connection goes beyond mere speculation, as the player’s long-term dream is to wear the famous white shirt one day.
Notably, the 17-year-old talent has been one of the revelations of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and his latest display helped Mexico secure a 2-0 victory over Ecuador in the Round of 32.
As his reputation continues to grow, the Mexico wonderkid is increasingly being viewed as one of the most exciting young talents emerging from North America.
Gilberto Mora’s World Cup campaign has elevated his profile significantly over the past few weeks.

Heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup, one of the names to keep an eye on was that of Yan Diomande, who was set to be a key part of the Ivory Coast's offensive engine. While Diomande only has a single goal involvement to his name, with his **** ist against Curacao during the group stage, given his national team's slated appearance in the knockout stages, that could change.
But a World Cup debut wasn't the only talking point surrounding Diomande entering the Summer, as it was being constantly reported that he was the subject of interest from multiple teams around Europe, chief among them, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. The Merseyside club was keen on bringing the Ivorian forward to Anfield as a replacement for the now-departed Mo Salah, who left the Reds at the expiration of his contract.
There was a key update in the race for Diomande's signature when Liverpool decided to splash some cash on Osasuna's Victor Munoz, who they brought in for €40m, which didn't deter them from putting in a further €100 million bid for the Ivorian, but it was subsequently rejected by RB Leipzig.
While there has been all of this interest from the Premier League giants, it appears that the back-to-back European champions may have more pull in the race for Diomande.

There are two ways to watch young players at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The first is the obvious way: wait for a clip to go viral, the jaw-dropping dribble, the goal that makes no sense, the pass that no one else seems to see, and then watch the player get bracketed into the global term: ‘wonderkid’.
It is easy. It is loud. It is expensive.
The second way is quieter. It asks who Barcelona can find before their market value skyrockets. It asks who is not fashionable but fits into the current scheme of things at the club.
Not who looks like a star in isolation, but who answers a question inside a team that already has Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Pau Cubarsi and a very specific way of playing football.

Liverpool keen on signing Crystal Palace wonderkid amid squad overhaul originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It has been a busy start to the offseason for Liverpool, as the Merseyside club has seen somewhat of a mass exodus from Anfield, with the likes of Mo Salah, Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate, and Arne Slot making their way out. There are more exits on the cards for the Reds, as the likes of Curtis Jones, Federico Chiesa, and, most recently, Dominik Szoboszlai have all been linked with interest from other clubs, with the Hungarian catching the eyes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain.
But according to a recent report, it appears that the Reds have no plans to let the Hungarian midfielder go in the transfer window, and would rather see him as a core part of the team's plans going forward, as well as their transfer target, Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton.
According to TEAMtalk's Graeme Bailey, Liverpool view Wharton as their premier target, while they also have their eyes on Bournemouth's Alex Scott as they look to bolster their midfield department.
"Liverpool have made it clear that Dominik Szoboszlai is going nowhere this summer as they accelerate plans to reshape their midfield around him and top target Adam Wharton, with the Reds now ‘intensifying’ their interest in the Crystal Palace star..." states Bailey. "The Reds are pressing ahead with plans to strengthen the centre of the park under Andoni Iraola and sources have confirmed that Crystal Palace midfielder Wharton and Bournemouth star Alex Scott remain among the club’s most desired targets."

Arsenal, Liverpool among teams interested in Moroccan wonderkid originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
One of the teams to look out for at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is Morocco, with the defending AFCON champions a perennial dark horse in recent tournaments, including their semi-final run at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they lost to France. The squad includes the likes of Achraf Hakimi, Brahim Diaz, and Noussair Mazraoui, but the real star of their opening match of the tournament against Brazil was Ayyoub Bouaddi.
The 18-year-old would prove to be too much for the Brazilians to handle, recording 60 passes, five interceptions, while winning out on 9 duels in the midfield. Given that it's his World Cup debut, this is rather impressive for someone at that young of an age on the global stage. But for those keyed into Ligue 1, these numbers aren't too surprising given that Bouaddi recorded 33 interceptions and won out on 49 tackles during 42 games with Lille this season.
All of this has caught the eyes of multiple of the bigger clubs around the world, making the Moroccan midfielder one of the names to watch during the summer transfer window, with multiple Premier League sides looking at acquiring his services, chief among them: ****** nal and Liverpool.
According to a recent report from Fabrizio Romano, both English sides have been in contact with Bouaddi's representatives about making a move in the coming weeks.
