Just 15 years old, Gabriel is regarded as the brightest young talent coming through the ranks at Manchester United. A centre-forward by trade, who is also capable of operating on the left flank, the youngster has been in prolific form for the Manchester United Under-18 setup this season. Indeed, Gabriel has racked up ten goals and an assist in ten matches in the U-18 Premier League, including a hat-trick in the recent 7-0 thrashing of Liverpool.
"First-team player Aitana Bonmatí has undergone successful surgery for the transdesmal fracture of her left fibula. This surgery was performed by Dr. Antoni Dalmau at the Hospital de Barcelona, under the supervision of the Club's Medical Services. The expected recovery time will be around five months."
At 37, Robert Lewandowski continues to perform strongly for Barcelona in attack, with his form especially improving after his return from injury. However, his contract stands to expire at the end of the season, and as things stand, everything indicates that the Blaugrana do not plan on offering a renewal to the Poland captain. In fact, the search for a replacement is already underway, with Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez seen as the dream target, although signing him will be a near-impossible mission.
FC Barcelona are pretty much guaranteed to enter the market for a new centre-forward in the summer of 2026. After all, Robert Lewandowski's contract expires at the end of the season, and there appear to be no plans for a renewal at the moment. Julian Alvarez is seen as the dream target by the Catalans, but a transfer appears impossible, given the club's finances as well as Atletico Madrid's stance on their star forward's future.
"My dream was to play for Barcelona when I was young, and I realised that dream, I'm a fan of the club," he said. "Since retirement, I've kept friends there, I have a house there. "The club needed a change, a rebuild, and I wanted to help from the outside. It was not my idea to become sporting director. After his election, the president always said to me: 'You need to become sporting director.'"
He's had a release clause until the end of January of every year. We assume that he will definitely fulfill his contract until 2027. And if it were up to us - and I've heard he wants it too - then he will extend, he told Bild.
The German tactician had tried the 23-year-old left-back in the role back in pre-season when Inigo Martinez was dealing with discomfort before leaving the club for Al Nassr. Martin, to his credit, has taken to the role well and done enough to impress the Blaugrana coaching staff. Martin to start at centre-back again? So much so that SPORT reports that Flick is considering repeating the tactic once again tomorrow when Barcelona host Atletico Madrid at the Spotify Camp Nou.
