Man’U offers itself the future leader of Wales
Young hope followed by many big clubs (including Chelsea who had shown a strong interest), Gabriele Biancheri is a Welsh U17 (3 caps) who also has English and Italian nationalities. A specificity that made his transfer possible: since Brexit, English clubs can no longer recruit young people under the age of 18 unless they have British nationality.
Gabriele Biancheri passed his medical examination on Monday as part of a university contract waiting to be able to sign his professional contract at his 18th birthday. The two clubs have yet to finalize the operation but the agreement is very close. Center forward who can also play on the flanks, the young nugget joined the Cardiff U21 team this season with which he scored 17 goals and delivered 5 assists. He will join the youth team of Red Devils while waiting to join the first team.
