United are yet to make a public statement on the situation, but it remains likely Gabriel leaves once it expires at the end of the current season.
Gabriel has been linked with almost every top club in Europe and was reportedly in Spain to talk with Barcelona and Real Madrid in September.
According to journalist Jose Felix Diaz, a final decision on the player’s future is expected sooner rather than later.
Real Madrid firmly believe they’re leading the race to sign Gabriel, who would be able to make the move ASAP as he is close to securing a Cypriot passport.
