Here we go: Real Madrid is concerned about the high demands made by JJ Gabriel's father, a Manchester United player, but there is one reason why negotiations are still ongoing.
On 11 Nov 2026 GMT+7, the 'Los Blancos' Real Madrid, led by Portuguese coach José Mourinho, made headlines expressing concern over the extensive demands from the father of JJ Gabriel, a promising Manchester United player from the English Premier League. However, there is one reason the talks continue to move forward.
This was revealed by The Sun, a well-known British tabloid, reporting that Los Blancos are worried about the benefit demands from JJ Gabriel’s father, which might affect long-term wage structures and management. They fear a repeat of what happened previously with Manchester United.
The only factor keeping Real Madrid's talks with JJ Gabriel’s father alive is the player's football ability alone, while Manchester United is also making every effort to retain the player.
