Barcelona sporting director Deco has said the club is not interested in wonderkid JJ Gabriel, according to a Sky Sports transfer report. The supplied material does not provide the player’s current club, age, position or details of any Manchester United interest.

Barcelona sporting director Deco has reportedly said that the club is not interested in JJ Gabriel, a young player linked with Manchester United, Sky Sports reports. The item appears in Sky Sports’ transfer-news coverage and describes Gabriel as a wonderkid. It does not provide a direct quotation from Deco in the supplied material or explain when or where the sporting director made the reported comment.

The available information also does not identify Gabriel’s current club, position or age. It gives no details of any approach by Manchester United, the terms of a possible transfer or other clubs that may be interested. The report therefore establishes only Barcelona’s reported position as presented by Sky Sports.

No response from Gabriel, Manchester United or his representatives is included.
