Barcelona insist they are NOT interested in Man United's JJ Gabriel

Deco said Barcelona are not pursuing the 15-year-old, while Manchester United could face a contract dispute before he turns 16.

  • On Thursday, Barcelona sporting director Deco claimed the Spanish club are "not involved" in discussions to sign Gabriel, dismissing reports linking the 15-year-old to the Catalan side.
  • Gabriel, who joined United at age 11, stunned the club last week by demanding a departure despite his rapid rise through the academy and a recent UEFA Youth League hat-trick against Sabah.
  • Steven Gerrard told TNT Sports he does not "see the rush," while United face a potential £300,000 compensation fee if they terminate the contract before Gabriel turns 16 on October 6.
  • The youngster reportedly visited Spain recently, with rumors suggesting a "first major agreement" to join a club abroad, though he has yet to make a senior debut for Manchester United despite consideration for the Carabao Cup squad.
  • United must resolve the situation before Gabriel turns 16 on October 6, when he becomes eligible for legal representation, while the player could potentially appeal to the Premier League or FIFA to secure his release.
