@kinsmankalala: NEW: Barça and Real Madrid are leading the race to sign JJ Gabriel. The total package would cost well over €10m-€15m. The real reason this transfer is fascinating Gabriel is not simply being bought for what he is today. He is being bought for what Europe’s biggest clubs believe he can become. That distinction is crucial. At 16, you cannot reasonably say, “He is already a €15m player.” The valuation is essentially a projection of future potential. And that explains why Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested despite him having almost no senior competitive football. Why Madrid and Barça are interested Real Madrid’s attraction: Madrid can sell him a pathway through Castilla, their B team, before eventually moving him into the first team. That makes the move attractive to a teenager who wants a visible route toward senior football. #foryou #foryoupage #fyp #barcelona #jjgabriel
