Is JJ Gabriel off to Real Madrid?
The Index thinks Gabriel to Real Madrid is all but done.
The question: where will Gabriel be registered when calls close on 1 Feb, 23:00 (UK)?
A January 2027 window transfer: the window opens 1 January. Calls made now count in full: you’re scored on how well you beat the Index while you held your view, so calling months ahead is neither penalised nor padded.
