According to Goal.com, Manchester United is considering legal action regarding JJ Gabriel's request to leave the club. Gabriel is a 15-year-old academy player.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Gabriel's representatives are negotiating with several clubs. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and other European clubs are competing for him, with Spanish clubs currently leading the race, though other teams are also in contention.

Romano also states that Gabriel did not travel to Barcelona for direct negotiations with FC Barcelona or to sign a contract. The player's team, family, and representatives are discussing his future.

According to Football FanCast, Manchester United is considering legal action due to concerns about external interference in Gabriel's affairs. United also hopes to receive higher compensation if Gabriel leaves.

The 15-year-old Gabriel has formally requested to be deregistered from Manchester United. This would allow him to freely pursue a new club once his relationship with United ends.

Manchester United is currently refusing to approve the player's request and insists on retaining his registration until the end of the season.

Premier League rules state that if a player wishes to be deregistered during their contract, it requires consent from the club, the player, and their guardian. If no agreement is reached, either party can request that the Premier League make a binding determination on deregistration.

Gabriel was close to joining United's first team and was preparing for the League Cup match against Brighton when his departure request caught the club off guard.

Gabriel will turn 16 on October 6, and several European clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain, are monitoring him. Once he turns 16, he will be able to appoint his own agent and will be free to leave, which would make his departure much easier. He also holds an Irish passport. The same source also mentioned that prominent agent Ali Barat has advised him during negotiations with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Manchester United's demand for higher compensation may be supported by precedent: Fulham received £4.3 million plus a 20% sell-on clause when Harvey Elliott transferred to Liverpool in 2019. Liverpool was also banned from registering academy players and fined £100,000 for breaches in signing a Stoke City academy player.

However, the complexity of Manchester United's position lies in the likelihood that Gabriel's next club will fall outside English football's jurisdiction, which could make FIFA the primary authority for determining compensation and adjudicating any violations.
