India, Nov. 8 -- Real Madrid appear to have won the race for one of Europe's most closely watched young football talents.

Manchester United teenager JJ Gabriel has reportedly chosen Los Blancos as his preferred destination, turning down interest from Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on November 6 that Gabriel's representatives had informed all interested clubs of the 16-year-old's final decision.

According to Romano, the player's camp wants Real Madrid, with the terms of an agreement now being finalised.

However, the move is not officially complete. The paperwork and remaining formalities still need to be settled before Real Madrid can announce the teenager's arrival.
